As tangible evidence of our commitment to working for justice and peace locally and globally, we have a Peace Pole on our front lawn, which displays the message “May Peace Prevail on Earth” in 17 languages.
Whether we are celebrating the International Day of Peace, discovering ways to become Beloved Community, signing our Parish Pledge of Nonviolence, serving dinner at a homeless shelter, making telephone calls encouraging people to vote, writing letters to our elected officials, or collecting money for persons in need, our spiritual call is to be guided by the power of God’s spirit to take risks for justice and the common good. With creative, Spirit-led leadership, we act with the expectation that we can, and will, help advance humankind’s deepest hope of justice and peace for all people.
