FIRST THE FLOOD OF BANAL GREED, THEN THE BIG FISH OF XENOPHOBIA TRIES TO SWALLOW US



Our church community is now like the Noah’s Ark, adrift on a sea of nationalistic & personal self-sufficiency, a spirituality of agnostic apathy.   If we are to reach the shores of a new evangelism, see the rainbow of a new covenant based on the nonviolent merciful unconditional love of God given us in Jesus, then we must send forth the dove of a soaring joyful, informed and committed, youth service ministry.

They will be our missionary peacemakers, with olive branch in their mouths that speak many languages.  And understanding many cultures, they will work and pray together with both friend and enemy to bring us all closer to the inclusive, peaceable kingdom God has prepared. 




Two of a number of good resources for the vocational voyage ahead.  Catholic Volunteer Network [order their free catalog], and Mennonite - Christian Peacemaker Teams.
