It is vital to meet and worship with other Christians in order to grow in the Christian life and to understand what is God's will for people and for their communities.
The use of force should be supported, but only in extreme situations and only when the need is clear beyond reasonable doubt, and through appropriate international organizations.
All Christians can seek to create a way of life deliberately designed to overcome evil with good and to promote justice for all.
