Every Church A Peace Church Potluck Dinner Program

When: Monday, July 10, 2006 - 6:30 - 8:30 PM

Where: Plymouth Presbyterian Church*

Program:

Veterans for Peace, Steve McKeown and Jim Steinhagen, telling of their
spiritual journeys from soldier to peace activist, will present a program
based on the statement of Jesus who asked his disciples:

"Who do you say I am?" (Matthew 16:13-18)

Do we acknowledge Jesus as the Prince of Peace, whose preeminent message was
that of love, forgiveness and compassion or as the God of War, who came to
bring judgment and retribution? What happens to soldiers as they struggle to
reconcile the Christian teachings of their youth with the requirements of the
military to kill? How do Christian churches counsel soldiers about this
dilemma? Can the United States honestly be described as a Christian nation?
Does not the federal budget with 53% of discretionary funds allotted to the
military indicate our real priorities?
