What does the church have to say about human rights, global justice, and pluralism? In this paper using the ideas of Rowan Williams, Stanley Hauerwas and others I argue that the Church has much to say to a secular world, and I propose when the Church is true to it's doctrine it will shine forth a powerfully engaging and compelling ethics that bids love to everyone it encounters.

This is not a passive type of existence but a call to enter into the transnational, and global community seeing residents of all countries as brothers and sisters in Christ. Christian Pacifism therefore sees peace as a gift already given to us, and that we bear the burden of bringing that to a world wedded to nationalism by showing the shared humanity of us all. Therefore in living out the gift of peace we enter the world's conflict seeking to show resolution in the midst of tragedy.
