EIRENE is a non-profit ecumenical international peace and development service and a recognized agency for development service, voluntary social year, and international youth peace service.
In 1957 EIRENE was founded by Christians from different denominations who felt committed to the principle of non-violence and who wanted to take a stance against the rearmament and for a peaceful co-existence. Two of the founding members were the historic peace churches: the Mennonites and the Church of the Brethren. They are still institutional members of EIRENE together with the International Fellowship of Reconciliation, the Dutch branch of EIRENE, and the EIRENE trust. It is also possible for private individuals who feel connected to EIRENE and wish to support its activities to become members of the association.
