General Conference Mennonite Church CAPITAL PUNISHMENT The position on capital punishment of the General Conference Mennonite Church as adopted at Estes Park, Colorado, July 16, 1965. In View Of our Christian responsibility to give witness to the righteousness which God requires of all men, we are constrained to set forth our convictions concerning capital punishment. Our Belief Since Christ through His redemptive work has fulfilled the requirement of the death penalty, and has given the church a ministry of reconciliation, and in view of the injustice and ineffectiveness of capital punishment as a means for the achievement of the purpose of government, we express our conviction that its use should be discontinued. In view of the prophetic commission given to the church, therefore, we appeal to the Parliament of the Dominion of Canada and to the federal and state governments of the United States, to discontinue the use of the death penalty and to set rehabilitation as the ultimate goal in the treatment of the criminal, expressing a positive attitude to the offender, thus further encouraging the peace and order which under the lordship of Christ the state is commissioned to provide. Our Confession and Our Prayer In view of our responsibility as ministers of reconciliation we confess that we have not adequately fulfilled our obligation to work for the abolition of capital punishment or for the reduction of crime in our society. We need to be more faithful in serving persons in prison and in laboring for the reform of prison procedures; for the rehabilitation of released prisoners; and for the improvement of the economic, social, and religious conditions which contribute to the making of juvenile offenders and to the spread ofcrime.

This is Tonya's E306 class. We are here to present our sides of the capital punishment issue. From left to right we are Jon, Frankie, Dustin, Jessica, Jana, Leslie, Edward, Abel. Feel free to click on our face to see some personal thoughts and feels toward capital punishment. Just for fun, EMail one of us with your opinion: FOR or AGAINST. Background/Intro Each year there are about 250 people added to death row and 35 executed.The death penalty is the harshest form of punishment enforced in the United Sates today. Once a jury has convicted a criminal offense they go to the second part of the trial, the punishment phase. If the jury recommends the death penalty and the judge agrees then the criminal will face some form of execution, lethal injection is the most common form used today. There was a period from 1972 to 1976 that capital punishment was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Their reason for this decision was that the death penalty was cruel and unusual punishment under the eighth amendment. The decision was reversed when new methods of execution were introduced. Capital punishment is a difficult issue and there are as many different opinions as there are people. In our project, both sides have been presented and argued with focus on several topics as listed below. This page was constructed to show the different opinions held by the members of our group. There is plenty of useful information within our work. We hope you find it helpful and informative.

90. Capital Punishment - The Death Penalty capital punishment lowers the value of human life as seen by the generalpopulation and brutalizes society. It is based on a need for revenge. http://www.religioustolerance.org/executb.htm

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT THE DEATH PENALTY Basic reasons: pro and anti Click below to visit our sponsors. Common reasons in support of capital punishment The Bible The Bible requires the death penalty for a wide variety of crimes, including sex before marriage, adultery, homosexual behavior, doing work on Saturday and murder. It even calls for some criminals (e.g. prostitutes who are the daughters of priests) to be tortured to death by being burned alive. Most Christians, with the exception of those in the Reconstructionist movement , feel that many of these grounds for the death penalty no longer apply to Christian societies. U.S. However, Bible passages are still used to promote the retention of capital punishment for murderers; some advocate that homosexuals also be executed. Justice/Vengeance Many people feel that killing convicted murderers will satisfy their need for justice and/or vengeance. They feel that certain crimes are so heinous that executing the criminal is the only reasonable response. Deterrence Many people feel that the death penalty will deter criminals from killing. This does not seem to be confirmed by an analysis of the available data. However, it feels intuitively correct for many people.

by Suzanne Dodge Introduction Task Resources Process ... Conclusion Introduction More than 13,000 people have been legally executed in the United States since colonial times, most of them in the early 20th Century. By the 1930's, as many as 150 people were executed each year. As the century progressed, the practice began to wane due to legal challenges and public outrage. In 1972, the Supreme Court banned capital punishment. They stated that the existing state laws were applied in an "arbitrary and capricious" manner and, thus, violated the Eighth Amendment's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment, and the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of equal protection of the laws and due process. In 1976, the Court overturned its 1972 decision. Several states promptly reenacted capital punishment laws. Today, thirty-seven states now have laws authorizing the death penalty. A dozen states have abolished capital punishment, two in the last century (Michigan in 1837, Minnesota in 1853). Alaska and Hawaii have never had the death penalty. The United States is the only country in the western world to allow the death penalty. As we approach the new millennium, capital punishment remains a highly controversial issue. Michigan lawmakers, after unsuccessfully trying to legalize capital punishment over the years, are again looking to introduce a bill that would reenact capital punishment.
