PEACE CIRCLE

PEACE CIRCLE

"Enlarging the circle of peace . . .
here is a vision . . . to pursue . . ."
(Donald F. Durnbaugh, Fruit of the Vine)


How do you make a circle bigger
any circle
but especially this one?

You can't do it selectively.

To keep a circle a circle
you must expand the arc
equally at all points
which means you've got to bring inside
ideas
and doctrines
and (especially) people
you'd very much like to exclude.

But hey
nobody
– not even Jesus --
-- especially not Jesus --
said it would be easy.
