Daily Devotions

THE CALL TO RECONCILIATION
We are called as brothers and sisters to reconcile with one another.  We are called to live in community, not a solitary life, but a life bolstered, supported, and challenged by one’s fellows.

A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW: LOOKING AT THE OTHER SIDE
More important than freedom of expression is the realization that our view is always limited; we do not hold a monopoly on Truth.

A LANGUAGE WITHOUT WORDS
What might happen if we would simply set aside the words that describe our agendas in life, and try to 'lift up and bear with' those who are different from us or who disagree with us?

PRAYERS FOR FINDING PEACE
Prayers for peace, community, patience and foresight

THOUGHTS ON PEACE AND UNITY
There's no better time to let go of our old intolerance for those who see things differently and open our eyes to the abundant love of God.
