War and peace in Afghanistan
The 219th General Assembly (2010) of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) approved an overture “On the War in Afghanistan.”
Through this overture, the General Assembly directed that “materials appropriate for studying the effects of the present war in Afghanistan and of non-combative actions the United States might take in pursuit of the region’s stability, prosperity, and peace” should be made available to presbyteries and congregations. Such materials and resources include:
- Afghanistan - Friends Committee on National Legislation
- Afghanistan – United States Institute for Peace
- Afghanistan & Pakistan Peace Process – 3P Security
- Afghanistan Peace and Reintegration Program – International Security Assistance Force
- Afghanistan Profile – BBC
- The AfPak Channel – Foreign Policy
- Beyond Power-sharing: Institutional Options for an Afghan Peace Process – United States Institute of Peace
- Cost of War to the United States – National Priorities Project
- Designing a Comprehensive Peace Process for Afghanistan – 3P Security
International Security Assistance Force - Missing Elements of a Comprehensive Strategy in Afghanistan – 3P Security
- A New Way Forward – Afghanistan Study Group
- Winding Down the Combat Mission in Afghanistan – United States Institute of Peace
Windows and Mirrors: Reflections on the War in Afghanistan - American Friends Service Committee
May God bless the people of Afghanistan, those from the United States and other nations serving with the International Security Force, the people of Pakistan, and all who are affected by the conflict. May God guide those who pursue a just peace.
