A vision of plowshares

This weeks lectionary brought us the prophet Micah's vision of a time when we would learn war no longer. There are those who fear that this is naive and they may be right but Easter calls us to hope and work for a better way - a way of peace and love.

In the sermon, I told the story of 15 year old Ava Lowry from Alabama who started the website Peace Takes Courage and has created what she calls animations - montages of images of war over incongruous music like Louis Armstrongs Wonderful World or Yes, Jesus loves me. Visit Peace Takes Courage.
