the idea of peace seems a long way away. I don't understand how a church can get to this point. We should be of one accord and ready and willing to serve the cause of Christianity. Next Sunday will be the Advent Sunday of Joy. Perhaps we can have one hour of joy before we have that meeting and then we will all remember it is not about us but about Jesus and get down to the job of being Christians and doing the work of God. Perhaps Peace will fall on you today. I hope so.
