QUERY FOR MAY: PEACE

How does our Meeting act to advance peace, to oppose violence, and to support the constructive use of authority in our community, our nation, and the world? What are we doing as a Meeting to recog- nize and correct the causes of violence within our communities, and to work toward overcoming separations and restoring wholeness?
Do I live in the power of that Life and Spirit that takes away the occasion of all wars? Am I aware that to build a world community requires that we all face our differences honestly, openly, and with trust? Do I seek to recognize and respect the Divine in those with whom I have a basic disagreement? Do I look for ways to reaffirm in action and attitude my love for the one with whom I am in conflict? – PYM Faith and Practice (online), Queries, 8.
