Trinitarian Bridge-building from Racism to Peacemaking - Procuring Peace
Description
Ø Welcome to New Wine New Wineskins on Clubhouse where we seek to build relational bridges through Jesus by engaging relevant subjects. The discussion this morning continues the Trinitarian theology dialogue through the lens of bridge-building. That is, trinitarian bridge-building from racism to peacemaking.
Ø The question remains “how should my core value of a Trinitarian Theology impact my faith seeking understanding and action? How do I participate in the bridge-building from racism to peacemaking?
What does it mean to procure peace? Peacemaking should move from seeking vengeance or avoiding conflict to reconciling relationships and making society whole.
Being a bridge-builder is to be compelled by the love of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:14 ) in God’s ministry of reconciling the world to Himself. As Jesus’ followers, we are invited to participate in the ministry of reconciliation and this should serve as our catalyst for the movement from racism to peacemaking. We can all publicly take a stand as peacemakers. Then, we need to do the work.
