CWS Statement on Preemptive Military Action Against Iraq
As an ecumenical humanitarian organization that has been engaged in relief, development, and refugee assistance around the world for more than 50 years, Church World Service knows well the human cost of modern warfare, especially to the most vulnerable. In concert with ecumenical bodies in North America and around the world, Church World Service opposes preemptive offensive military action against the people of Iraq and is working with its partner, the Middle East Council of Churches, to be an instrument of justice and peace in the Middle East.
