About the Author
Mennonite Central Committee, Office on Justice and Peacebuilding is the integration of Mennonite Conciliation Service and the Office on Crime and Justice. Their purpose is to equip people to live in community and to respond redemptively to interpersonal and systemic conflict, harm and injustice within families, communities and congregations. Responding to the biblical mandate as stated in Micah 6:8 to “do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with your God,” the Office on Justice and Peacebuilding promotes fair and inclusive processes in times of conflict, crime and injustice. These processes are guided by principles of restorative justice. We are committed to anti-racist and anti-sexist conflict transformation.
