Everything Has A Season- Rev. Paul Gonyea

The social and political process we're going through right now should not just be about "avoiding war." That's a laudable goal, but we need to be more assertive than that. Our energy should be spent creating a consciousness of peace in our own mind and heart, and seeing that same consciousness as potentially present in the mind of every other person, everywhere. It's not just about "not fighting"; it's about not judging each other for either our beliefs or our mistakes. It's about learning to disagree with each other respectfully, whether it's at home, at work, or at the United Nations. It's about continuous honest and open and respectful dialogue, instead of a constant pattern of lies and manipulation, or accusations and threats."
