On Sunday our service was shaped around Jeremiah 29 and the call of God to the people of God in Babylon to seek the peace and prosperity of the city. Continuing that theme I found a quote from Oscar Romero, Archbishop of El Salvador on what peace means. he said "Peace is not the product of terror or fear. Peace is not the silence of cemeteries. Peace is not the silent result of violent repression. Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution of all to the good of all. Peace is dynamism. Peace is generosity. It is right and it is duty."
