Is peace possible?


I'm not as inclined to pacifism and individualism as Rev. Barbara Prose is, but I think that she makes some excellent points here. I have been thinking much this week of hearing a priest say on Sunday that "The world is broken, but all that is broken may be mend---not by time, as the saying goes, but by intention. The broken world is waiting for your light in order to heal" or words to that effect.

Is peace possible? Rev. Prose says yes if, or when, it starts with us and after we have learned certain disciplines and come to desire peace. I think that our light gets brighter as our intentionality becomes organizing and as our organizing builds a movement for social change and demands that people come before profits.
