Dear Saints in Santa Fe and other far-off places: Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ, who taught “blessed are the peacemakers.” I want you to join me in the work of peacemaking in 2023. Get together, talk it over, form a group, be part of movement, do something small, consider something big, make a difference, if not for the world, then for you. And me. And our community. Will you? Now if you haven’t yet scrolled to something else then allow me to make your deliberation a bit easier. I have already listed your objections (but you can still come up with your own!).
