Israel is on all of our minds and in our conversations these days. May the POWER that makes for salvation inspire leadership throughout the world. May CHANGE come to a land riddled with holiness. May PEACE inspire us more than war.
“The God of Israel is also the God of all mankind. We see on all sides conflicts between nations, between religions, between races. Nevertheless we hold to the faith that God intends mankind to be one. We believe that the day will come when God’s law of justice, peace and brotherhood will prevail on earth and His unity will be manifest in the unity of mankind.”
