Look to the Child

Luke 2:1-14

Christmas Day - Year B

December 25, 2011

The Rev. John Philip Newell (other)

Universal Brotherhood

The Rev. John Gunn (other)

This episode of Be Still and Know delves into war and the mistaken notions of protection and insurance from attack that armament can provide. The Rev. John R. Gunn writes, "In times past, fearsome weapons have never deterred man from going to war. We shall have to look for peace in another direction; to the Prince of Peace whose birth was heralded by the Angels saying, Glory to God in the highest and on Earth, peace, goodwill toward men."
