As the drumbeats of war have drawn closer during this anxious
spring, the reconciliation promised and given by God in Christ
has rarely seemed so needed or so hard to see. The papers excerpted
inside invite us to imagine and grasp it for our time.
As we journey together through Lent, we pray that our church can
learn to model God's reconciliation in our own fellowship, and
can carry this gift to our communities, our nation, and our world.
