In Stillness Between Sirens … Give Peace a Chance

ByJames Butler

In stillness between sirens is heard the whispered prayers for peace. The first answer to prayer is the messy miracle of dialogue. Pray for the peace of Israel, Gaza, and Iran.

“The Shepherd Brings the Miracle First Answer of Prayers for Peace”

We do not take sides with war—we take sides with humanity. In this moment of missiles and ultimatums, we call for an audacious act of dialogue. Not out of naivety, but of necessity. The future cannot be won with ashes.

Easy to Get In, Hard to Get Out

Pastor Jim,

Postscript:

The winged Shepherd brings the miracle of dialogue. The odd spelling of miracle reflects the messy process of dialogue itself, in which the answer for peace becomes viable through a messy process.

Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. - Matthew 5:25. The words of Jesus from the Sermon on the Mount
