In the Church video “Blessed Are the Peacemakers,” President Russell M. Nelson teaches, “Contention is a choice. Peacemaking is a choice. You have your agency to choose contention or reconciliation. I urge you to choose to be a peacemaker, now and always.” (From the talk “Peacemakers Needed“, General Conference, April 2023.)

“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” Matthew 5:9
