x, 158 p. ; 22 cm. Although the United Methodist Church claims in its constitution to be pacifist, they have condoned participation in war and marginalized pacifists. Long seeks both to explain how this contradiction came about and to provide a convincing theological argument for pacifism. Long puts forth a vision of faithfulness that will inspire United Methodists to be a community of resistance--a people cultivating the virtues of holiness and peaceableness--in a world of war.
