Covenant of Peace Books


Practices

Peace channeled through 4 Cs*:
  • Christ
  • Church (with sacraments)
  • Counsel (and prayer)
  • Confessional leaders**

Notes:
* Above are the 4 Cs of Peacemaking. See www.Covenant.net/Peace4Cs. These 4 Cs are often incorporated into documents related to church membership covenants***; see, e.g., www.BiblicalPeace.com/Commitments
** Confessional Leaders are leaders who encourage a confessional understanding of Christ, the Church, Counsel, and leadership in mediating institutions (spheres) described in the Confessions. See, for example, how the Westminster Confession of Faith describes government, family and church in Chapters 23-31.
*** God describes His covenant in terms of peace. See, e.g., Numbers 25:12, Ezekiel 34:25, Isaiah 54:10, Ephesians 2:12-14.
