Who's This Trinity?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

“Country First” is not a slogan for peace (nor is it good theology).

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

Fear and hope do battle in us. They color our perceptions of the world, life and you. But you always invite our hope, always speak a word of promise, always offer a vision of justice, freedom and peace. You encourage us, love us, forgive our failings, surround us with your spirit.

The devils of fear don’t stand a chance against you.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“I never heard of Trinity. Where does she come from?”

[The imaginary world of Matrix. I guess that’s why He never heard of it.]

D. Blog: Remember: It’s Armistice Day!

They now call it Veterans Day in the US. In Europe it’s still a day that marks the end of World War I.

An end to war, not a celebration of those who fought in them, nor of the “victory” they achieved on behalf of the “homeland.”

An end to war and the celebration of the promise that came with that end, not an occasion of national pride and another bit of pomp and circumstance to stir patriotic fervor in the young.

An end to war, a new beginning for peace, resurrected hope in the future.

How we label the day makes a difference…
