Blessed are the peacemakers …
The General Assembly’s adoption of Peacemaking: The Believers’ Calling, which called for an emphasis on peacemaking, paved the way for this offering, which seeks to promote the Peace of Christ across the PC(USA). Individual congregations are encouraged to utilize a large portion of this offering to sustain their local peacemaking ministries.
When is the Peacemaking Offering Received?

Mr. Shull, As members of staff, we cannot provide that sort of input since the business is still pending before the General Assembly. We do, however, ensure that any and all comments/questions are routed to the chair, Rev. Karl Travis, and vice-chair, Rev. Sarah Butter, of the Special Offerings Advisory Task Force. They welcome correspondence with folks who have questions.

What are the implications/consequences for the Peacemaking Offering and the National Peacemaking Program of the recent GMAC announcement about a World Mission Offering replacing the Peacemaking Offering? . . . I get the impression that the GMAC proposal seriously amends the initial "Believers Calling" resolution adopted by the General Assembly in 1980 or so.
