Paul Nisly writes, “In our districts with quite diverse views in our congregations and in a time of a very divided culture, I pray that we can accept the Apostle Paul’s challenge to the church in Corinth: ‘Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation: the old has gone, the new has come. All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.’ (II Cor. 5:17-18) May we as Christ-followers be agents of healing and hope in our communities.”
