This is very intriguing, from a meeting of US bishops ahead of the general convention. Church Times - ‘Don’t let military hijack just war’: "Christians should learn again their duties to all their fellow citizens in the Kingdom of God and in the US. “We have not truly taken up the responsibilities that come with the vast worldly power that the United States has enjoyed, and con�tinues to enjoy, for our fellow Chris�tians around the world and for humanity as a whole, our neighbors in Christ.”
This would mean remembering that both sides in a conflict were sinners, that the enemy was not evil, and was “ultimately our neighbor”. It means that the true costs of war, to everyone and to the environment, must be considered.
The Bishops also said that the Anglican Church must first show that it loves its “enemies” within the body of Christ, before it can show its love for its enemies outside."
