This note is from the Raleigh congregation. I am assuming that they would not mind if some Texan's also joined this effort. There is an email at the bottom of the attached email for anyone that wants to personally respond. Sincerely, Steve ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dennis Boos <dboos@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Oct 15, 2007 5:29 PM Subject: [RMC] - contact with Iranians? To: RMC <rmc-a@xxxxxxxxxx> RMC, I just received this message from the Virginia Conference Peace Committee. It looks interesting. Dennis *Can war with Iran be prevented?* *What can you do to lessen the conflictbetween the people of our two countries? *The Virginia Conference Peace Committee announces the launch of "Make Friends, Not Enemies." Through MCC connections in Iran, we are linking individual Americans with individual Iranians in an E-Pal relationship (via email). No, you can't control what either government does, but through this relationship, you have the opportunity to: 1. Make Friends, Not Enemies. Show love to our so-called enemies. *Matt. 5:44 *2. Be engaged in real peacemaking, while engaging the other side as well. *II Cor. 5:18 *3. Learn to share your faith and views of peace more clearly, while learning more about their beliefs and understandings of faith and peace. II Cor. 5:20 4. Respond in a tangible, personal way to a potential build-up toward war. You may not broker world peace, but you can be a diplomat for peace with at least one person. *Romans 12:18. *If you or others in your congregation are interested in learning more about this opportunity, please contact us at ecopow@xxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ RMC-a mailing list RMC-a@xxxxxxxxxx http://rtpnet.org/mailman/listinfo/rmc-a
