A new Pax Christi Chapter for Seattle!


Welcome to the Pax Christi Central Seattle blog!  We look forward to connecting with you here as well as keeping you informed about Pax Christi events, meetings, and other faith-deepening opportunities.


What is Pax Christi?
At the local level:
A Pax Christi community is a group of Pax Christi USA members and other friends who meet on a regular basis to pray, study and act for peace with justice. They embrace the Pax Christi USA statement of purpose and priorities.
At the national level: 
Pax Christi USA strives to create a world that reflects the Peace of Christ by exploring, articulating, and witnessing to the call of Christian nonviolence. This work begins in personal life and extends to communities of reflection and action to transform structures of society. Pax Christi USA rejects war, preparations for war, and every form of violence and domination. It advocates primacy of conscience, economic and social justice, and respect for creation.
You can browse the Pax Christi USA website for more information about the rich history of this peace-making movement.

We are still in the discernment process to craft and discover what the work of Pax Christi Central Seattle will look like.  We hope you will join us.
