If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Romans 12:18

The need to be right or correct in relation to the other can be a barrier to unity. 

Milestone meeting for almost 50 year dialogue

The Australian Lutheran - Roman Catholic dialogues recently held its 200th meeting in Adelaide, South Australia. A dinner was held at the residence of Adelaide's Catholic Archbishop Patrick O'Regan to mark the occasion.

Bear witness. Keep watch. Build Peace.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God.” Matthew 5:9

Every day, persecution and human rights abuse destroy people’s lives and fuel conflict in the Holy Land. But your presence can help prevent these injustices.
