Gathering 207: "Blessed are...the peacemakers" // Service of Worship // Rev. Tony Minear Ph.D.

Have you noticed it takes less and less to trigger your frustration and anger lately? Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers." But what is peace and how can it be achieved? Perhaps, like many, you believe peace to be a cliché or a myth and not attainable on a large scale. Mahatma Gandhi once said, "If you want to change the world, start with yourself." Can this same correlation apply to realizing a state of peace in a world beset with divisiveness and separation? Today, Pastor Tony Minear, Ph.D. explores the practicality of finding a state of peace. Listen and discover how having an awareness of our interdependence on each other can bring about compassion for others—a key to finding inner peace. If external peace is only possible when rooted in individual inner peace, what steps can you take to be an activator of peace in your circle of influence?
