Post 4: Suggested Reading

Hi everyone,

This will be a quick blog tonight. Returning from an evening of hearing stories, I am encouraged. Mark Braverman says it well, "The judgement of God is upon the church as never before. If today's church does not recapture the sacrificial spirit of the early church, it will lose its authenticity, forfeit the loyalty of millions, and be dismissed as an irrelevant social club with no meaning...."  In a peaceful, determined way, we can lend our voices to the dissent by learning about the boycot of Israeli goods and services and we can tell our political representatives that we stand on the side of Peace. Request that funding of military suppport to Israel take a new turn. Now we build roads into the occupied territories, build rest sites at boarder crossings, invest in life on the other side of the wall.

Some excellent research and reading:

And on a last note....

Let us go in peace and proclaim to the world God's jubilee of justice and liberation; and may God's blessing be upon us now and forever. Amen.


See you tomorrow, Peggy
