Christian pacifism

Some Christians are pacifists. They believe that the Christian principle of love means that fighting and killing is never allowed, even during war. They would use the example and words of Jesus like‘Love your enemies’ and ‘Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the cheek, turn to him the other also’ to support their belief. Jesus also said ‘Blessed are the peacemakers, they will be children of God'. Examples of Christian pacifists are Martin Luther King and Dietrich Bonohoeffer. Quakers are a type of Christians who believe in pacifism. Other types of Christians, like Anglicans or Methodists, leave it up to individual conscience.
