As we enter Memorial Day weekend, we pause. We pause to honor the deep losses carried by so many—those who served, those who loved them, those who still grieve. At Christians for Social Action, we are committed to the long, faithful work of peacemaking. And that commitment begins with remembering the cost of violence—not to judge those who served, but to honor every life as sacred. This weekend, may our remembrance be tender. May our hearts hold space for lament. And may our hope stretch toward a world where peace is possible—and war is no longer necessary. 🕊️ "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God." — Matthew 5:9 (fb)
