This is an important activity of the World Peace Through Law Center, an international association of those who are convinced that the best opportunity for achieving world peace lies in the role of law in the world community.

As an active Christian Scientist I am even more deeply and totally committed to this purpose—but from the standpoint of the practice of divine law. The two approaches are not inconsistent, because human law in its highest aspect is a tremendously valuable and helpful effort to understand and to bring to bear on human experience the operation of the immutable, all-wise, and always-just Principle, which mankind intuitively recognizes and acknowledges as God.

The significant contribution to the cause of world peace made by the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, was recognized by her appointment as Fondateur of the Association for International Conciliation, an active world peace movement of her time.
