Welcome to 2009!
|
The start of a new year often brings to mind the chance for new beginnings, hopes and wishes. Here are a few thoughts about hopes and dreams for this new year.
----
"In this New Year, we turn again to the Lord of hosts - praying
urgently for the justice, righteousness and peace hailed by the birth
of the newborn babe in the manger, the humble child, the Prince of
Peace.
In these days of terrible violence, death and destruction in
Gaza and southern Israel, the ELCA joins its voice with all in the region and around the world who
call for an immediate ceasefire. The continuing loss of life,
infliction of serious injury and devastation of property will only
deepen hatred and divisions, and will serve no good end. Lamenting the
recent escalation of violence, only negotiations, leading to a
two-state solution, will bring about a durable peace with justice for
both Israelis and Palestinians." - Bishop Mark S. Hanson
----
"that we'd be people & communities radically in
touch with Christ's love for us & continue to risk our comfort,
ego, time, money, and heart to offer mercy & compassion to others.
that we'd be somehow known as those weird people who love other
people unconditionally, tangibly, and in all kinds of crazy,
unexplainable ways." - kathy escobar
