Presbyterian Peace Fellowship

Started in the early 1940s, PPF provided support for Presbyterians who were conscientious objectors during the Second World War.

In the 1980s PPF was one of the founding organizations of the US-Soviet Bi-Lateral Nuclear Weapons Freeze Campaign,[citation needed] leading the PC(USA) to become the first major church to endorse the proposal.

Current focuses include gun violence prevention, an accompaniment program in Colombia, and advocacy and Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions for justice in Israel and Palestine.

PPF gives out the Peaceseeker Award[1] each year since 1970 to recognized Presbyterians on the front lines of reducing war and violence.
