Fresco painted by the Swedish artist, Bo Beskow, illuminated within the Quiet Room at UN Headquarters, New York.
"This is a room devoted to peace
and those who are giving their
lives for peace. It is a room of quiet
where only thoughts should speak."
(Dag Hammarskjold)
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.
Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
So far as it depends on you, live at peace with all people.
Our work for peace must begin within the private world of each one of
us. To build for man a world without fear, we must be without fear. To
build a world of justice, we must be just. (Dag Hammarskjold)
When was the theme of peace,
in its length and breadth,
and height and depth,
last on the agenda of your local church meeting
as an essential missional question for followers of Jesus?
