About this issue
Both the vertical and horizontal aspects of peace are addressed in this issue, through a challenge from Pierre Gilbert about our Christology and in pieces concerning the Christian witness in Korea and DR Congo. Harold Jantz has written an analysis of recent Supreme Court hearings on the definition of marriage. We are also pleased to carry a Meetinghouse story by Paul Schrag, editor of the Mennonite Weekly Review, on how various Mennonite groups approach the question of women in ministry leadership. Meetinghouse is an association of Mennonite editors that annually commissions several stories of common interest to be shared with all.

Text on the other side of the card reads:
Peace is a choice . . .
- pray for each other
. . . remember that we are all children of God - imagine a peaceful world
. . . change begins with a dream - listen with care
. . . let your listening change you - learn forgiveness
. . . remember the past, turn to the future - speak truth
. . . using passion and compassion - value diversity
. . . celebrate differences and things shared - build fairness
. . . give a voice to those who have none - care for the earth
. . . buy wisely, use less - live gratefully
. . . be content with just enough - teach nonviolence
. . . oppose violence wherever you see it
live peace . . . as Jesus did.
