The Church

Peace!
Peace! It was a statement of one generation, and the longing desire for all of humanity. People scream for ‘world peace’, or ‘economic peace’, and even ‘community peace’. Peace only comes to a community, or an economy, or even the world when people make it their desire and plan to be at peace within themselves.
