The charitable purposes of Peacemaker Trust are:

1. The advancement of the Christian religion particularly but not exclusively in countries where the Christian faith is a minority by any means as the trustees shall in their discretion determine.
2. The promotion of religious harmony for the benefit of the public by promoting knowledge and mutual understanding and respect of the beliefs and practices of different religious faiths.

Five Marks of Mission

We affirm the Five Marks of Mission, first developed by the Anglican Consultative Council in 1984. Since then, they have been widely adopted as an understanding of what contemporary Christian mission is about. The marks were adopted by the General Synod of the Church of England in 1996 and many dioceses and other denominations use them as the basis of action plans and creative mission ideas. In 2012, the ACC added wording to the fourth mark, to include the need for Christians to challenge violence and work for peace.

• To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom
• To teach, baptise and nurture new believers
• To respond to human need by loving service
• To seek to transform unjust structures of society, to challenge violence of every kind and to pursue peace and reconciliation
• To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth

We understand our charitable purposes in these terms and seek to be catalysts for peacemaking, especially where minorities are persecuted, where justice is denied, human rights are suppressed or reconciliation is needed.

We affirm the Nicene Creed as our doctrinal statement.

We also seek to practice these Principles of Peacemaking
