Did you know that Monday, September 21st was the International Day of Peace?
I didn’t realize every year September 21st is set aside as the International Day of Peace. This past Monday, September 21st, I was invited to give the prayer at a Peace and Unity meeting of Georgia Rotarians in Lawrenceville.
As I prepared to give this prayer, I reflected on the current happenings in our country: Covid-19, protest, riots, marches, people yelling, property destroyed, people killed.
Added to that, here we are in the midst of an election year where campaigning attempts to demean and destroy the opposing candidate, usually with deceptive advertisements.
I thought about the Church, those who define themselves as followers of Christ. With Christians voicing support for different candidates, I’m seeing us act more like the unchurched rather than as brothers and sisters in the same eternal family.
