Who Is My Brother?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

The past is but prologue to peace.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

When the party starts, I’ll be ready to celebrate.
When the food and drinks are served, I’ll be seated at the table.
When the games begin, count me in.
When your door opens, I’ll step right inside.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

"My friends I choose, my family are inflicted upon me."

[Not quite what He said when family members came for Him.]

D. Blog: Who Is My Brother?

A group of 13 men went on retreat together. We shared bits of our life stories. We ate and sang together. We enjoyed poetry, music and ritual together. We spoke of what it means to be a man of spirit in a culture that holds up materialistic, “self-made,” competitive or violent men as role models. We became community as we recognized one another as brothers.
