A Minute for PEACE!!!

Good morning Beloved Friends,

 

As we begin our week together, let us take a Minute for PEACE:

 

"We have learned to fly the air like birds and swim the sea like fish, but we have not learned the simple art of living together as brothers. Our abundance has brought us neither peace of mind nor serenity of spirit." — Martin Luther King, Jr.​​​​​​​

 

Courage for Justice and Peace,

 

Ron Swain, University Chaplain
