This can give us hope that we can make a difference. Of course, it is of some controversy whether NATO actions are the best answer. I focus on the fact that more and more, we are becoming concerned about our brothers and sisters around the world in a way that was more difficult before we heard their stories and saw their plight on the nightly news. Perhaps the third millennium will be the one in which God enables us to find a way to live in a just peace. Let us hear the words of Martin Luther King, Jr. cautioning us when we complacently believe that the world will automatically become more peaceful and more just without our involvement.
Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable.
Even a superficial look at history reveals that no social advance rolls in on the wheels of inevitability. Without persistent effort, time itself becomes an ally of the insurgent and primitive forces of irrational emotionalism and social destruction. This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action. If you have any questions about the Weekly Email Message, contact the Laura Sugg.
