Go Out into the World in Peace

So we say to each other at the end of every service. (This is the first in a series of sermons based on our benediction.) The words are both a blessing–may you experience peace–and an exhortation–may you bring peace into the world. In a country that is already roiled by violence and that threatens so much more, what can we possibly do to replace this violence with peace? We’ll learn from the findings David McRaney shares in his book How Minds Change.

Worship leader: Rev. Amy Zucker Morgenstern

Special music: Veronika Agronov-Dafoe, piano
