Abraham, Sarah, Hagar, and Jesus’ sword
Paul Walton, minister at the Centenary Uniting Church in Brisbane, wrote a great blog post today highlighting the tensions between our three faiths and outlining a way forward: Whose sword is it?
He reports an incident in which he was encouraging multi-faith use of a hospital prayer room, but was confronted by an angry parishioner who was unhappy about the example being given to Christian youth.
His bottom line: “I am convinced that our best response to the sword is to be people of peace.”
Amen to that!
