. "The Peace Testimony, also known as the Testimony Against War, is a shorthand description of the stand generally taken by members of the Quaker testimonies, it is less a \"belief\" than a commitment to act in a certain way, in this case to refrain from participation in war and to actively oppose it and those who participate in war. The Quakers' original refusal to bear arms has been broadened to embrace protests and demonstrations in opposition to government policies of war and confrontations with others who bear arms, whatever the reason, in the support of peace. Because of this core testimony, the Religious Society of Friends is considered one of the traditional peace churches."@en . . . "Peace Testimony"@en . .
