Page 6-A Letter To Dear Editor, These thoughts were initially shared with the Outer Banks Presbyterian Church on November 14, 1982. A month and a half later during Christmas the issues remain much the same, do they not? Perhaps this will help our com munity to become less violent and more humane in this generation. Thank you. John Mitchener THE THINGS THAT MAKE FOR PEACE Within the Presbyterian Church in the United States and the United Presbyterian Church in the USA in recent years has developed an understanding that the grace of the Gospel is most effectively expressed for our day and time as the CALL to PEACEMAKING. While Pursuing their re union both denominations have endorsed the major position paper “Peacemaking - - The Believer’s Calling: An Affirmation of Policy and Direction” and commended this to the churches for their work of ministry. I am finding this un derstanding meaningful to my own pilgrimage of faith and would like to share it with you this morning. Listen now to the Word of God for you from the prophet Isaiah: 59:1-2 . . . the Lord’s hand is no shortened that it cannot save. The Lord’s ear is not dull that it cannot hear. It is our iniquities that have created a separation bet ween us and God. It is our sins that have hidden His face from us so that He does not hear. Listen also to the Word of God for you from the Gospel according to Luke: 19:41ff. . And when Jesus drew near and saw Jerusalem he wept over it, saying, ‘‘Would that even today you knew the things that make for peace! But now they are hid from your eyes. For the days shall come upon you, when your enemies will .. . surround you and hern you in on every side .. . because you did not know the time of your visitation.” :45ff. . .And Jesus entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold, saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer’; but you have made it a den of rob bers.” Bandon Notebook Continued From Page 5-A Bunch, is confined to Chowan Hospital.

The Herald Editor :47ff. . .And He was teaching daily in the temple. The chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him; but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people hung upon his words. During 1982 we have known the brokenness of the world at almost every turn: We recall martial law in Poland; The expansion of defense budgets at home and abroad; The debate within Europe on weapons and missiles; The tragedy of the Falkland Islands; The massacres in the Middle East; And the forgotten suf ferings of Afghanistan and Vietnam. Thus with one hand in Scripture and the other on the morning newspaper we ask together. . .What does it mean to be an authentic person of faith in this day and time? We each have' respon sibilities to family and job. We have limited resources and only a few years. How then shall we glorify God and serve our neigh bor? What are our priorities of faith for this age? It is critical to see from the outset that peacemaking expresses the core or heart of the Gospel. John 3:16 has been called by some the “Gospel in a Nutshell” but a better case may be made for Paul’s insight to the Corinthians: “God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself. . and en trusting to us the message of reconciliation.” (II Cor. 5:19) Peacemaking then is not an ecclesiastical slogan or one issue among others but rather the heart of the Gospel calling us to obedience. Peacemaking is not a matter of timidity or sen timentality but rather faith reaching out com prehensively to seek justice and restore wholeness. Peacemaking raises the most fundamental question: “How does the enemy cease to be the enemy?” Peacemaking is therefore not a matter of hawk vs. dove nor of liberal vs. conservative but rather a matter of our common humanity at its most basic level. Peacemaking is not a synonym for pacifism or unilateral disarmament or defeatism or of a “peace in our time” such as the sham accord that Neville Chamberlain signed with Hitler. Peacemaking involves facing this world as it is and loving it where it hurts most - - namely in its capacity for destruction. The work of the Gospel is peacemaking. It is our heritage in Christ and our future in his Body the Church. We have experienced God’s grace in the brokenness of our own lives. We know His grace is real and We know it heals. We know God to be faith ful. We know ourselves called to accountability. We know that part of our new identity in Christ is our growing identification with all people and this we must cherish. Peacemaking means “Thinking globally and acting locally”. It means that we are first citizens of the world (because it is to the world that God is loyal) and only secondly citizens of any smaller turf or denomination. Our strength through Christ is such that we never rule out beforehand any situation as being beyond His Care and Healing - or - beyond our responsibility. Consider the story of Nguyen Thi Day, my mother in-law. ~ Shortly after arriving in Vietnam I met a young woman who would later come to the United States and whom I would marry. Until this day I am still amazed that this ever came about. . .in large part because I am amazed that Ginette’s mother ever allowed me to know her at all. For a few weeks prior to my arrival, an American had married a Vietnamese girl in that neighborhood near Ginette’s home. Right after the wedding an unspeakable tragedy occurred. It was discovered that not only had this G.I. been married before. . and so had lied to his new bride. . but that he had been married twice and was still married to the wife of the second marriage at the time he married this Vietnamese girl who, in effect, became his third wife! The “Ugly American” was never uglier. Throughout that district, all Americans became taboo and ‘off-limits’. To this day I wonder that Ginette’s mother allowed me to ever enter their home. But somehow in hr Catholic faith, she had i rned to meet all persons impartially and openly. . .and. . .so permitted an American Presbyterian about whom she knew nothing at the time to become a friend to her daughter. Remember this story not for the faults of the American soldier. Instead remember it for the faith and grace of a Vietnamese Christian woman who even in the midst of war-torn Saigon tried to live her faith and so embodied peacemaking. —O— Or consider another situation. In the early 1960 s in the South a young minister took his first parish. A short time later the wife of a member of the church died. The young minister, not knowing what else to do, visisted the bereaved husband and stayed up the entire night and through the wee hours of the morning just to be company. He fixed breakfast for the two of them and left. . .exhausted. After! a 3-hour nap,-.J»e returned to helpthe husband plan the funeral for his wife. A few months later the minister spoke against the racism of that day. The Session called him to task. It relented when someone spoke up and told the others of what our “co-humanity” with others means - and -of how he discovered ‘shared humanity’ at 3 A.M. during his trial of grief. Peacemaking - - means welcoming the stranger. Peacemaking - - means bearing the hurts of the world. Peacemaking-means the prophetic insight that our security lies in reaching out, not in withdrawal, in breaking down barriers, not in erecting them. Prophetically we see that today’s weapons are not just one more step in a gradual evolution from bows and arrow’ to swords and spears and on to the discovery of gun powder and dynamite. Nuclear weapons are quantitatively and ex ponentially different from other weapons. They can make the earth uninhabitable. The idea that tactical nuclear weapons eliminate this risk is misleading. Be clear that the ozone layer around the earth’s atmosphere can be destroyed permitting solar radiations to enter un checked. Know that basic food chains in nature can be ruptured beyond repair. And know that most survivors will be blind. And remember that no one knows the effect of all of this on genes and chromosomes. Strangely many people seem unalarmed by this prospect. They forget that the wars of the last 200 years in particular have been less and less a case of one military against another military - and - more and more a case of civilian populations being the major casualties. Some who are unalarmed seem to adopt the outlook that “God won’t let a nuclear disaster occur”.
