The other week I was attending the Church of the Brethren Church Planting conference at Bethany Seminary in Richmond, IN. I got the pleasure of hanging out with some friends who I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get to see very often. One of these friends lives and ministers in Seattle, WA. Turns out he was doing a workshop the same time that I was doing mine, so unfortunately I wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t able to be at his. But he gave me the handout, which was a tour of the churches and ministries happening in Seattle.<\/p>\n

One of the ministry he highlighted was Church of the Beloved and he mentioned that they had some free music on their site, so I went and downloaded the music. (You can do that here\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6http:\/\/belovedschurch.org\/hope<\/a><\/p>\n

One song is called Peace and as I listened to it, I realized just how much our world, our families, our denominations, and our churches need this type of peace. Read the lyrics and pray that PEACE may start with you (through your relationship with Jesus and through the power of the Holy Spirit)<\/p>\n

Broken conversations, broken people, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re broken Lord.
\nTerrified illusions, seeking comfort, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re seeking more.
\nWe need each other more than we need to agree.
\nFather, Son, Spirit bless us with your love,
\nwith your grace and peace.<\/p>\n

Peace.
\nLet there be peace.
\nLet there be peace.
\nLet there be peace.<\/p>\n

Let us see and not destroy. Let us listen. Let us listen.
\nLet us suspend judgement for the sake of love, for the sake of love.
\nWe need each other more than we need to agree.
\nFather, Son, Spirit bless us with your love,
\nwith your grace and peace.<\/p>\n

Love.
\nLet there be love. (among us)
\nLet there be love. (among us)
\nLet there be love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
