Ending Slavery





Yesterday we recalled the Martyrdom of St. Stephen, and today, on the 10th anniversary of the Tsunami in Indonesia, not pleasant Christmas events, and today we have the opportunity to address another human aberration, slavery, which still exists around the world. We can thus help build the Kingdom initiated by the birth of Jesus.  The above short video shows a historic gathering of world religious leaders working together; a marvelous testimony that a common cause can bring about unity among people of differing faiths and traditions.  How pleased must Jesus be to see that his vision, "that they all be one," is possible. Yes, there are many differences yet remaining, but step by step, in dialogue and common effort, these can be eliminated, as can slavery.  Let us pray for unity, peace and an end to slavery.
Take a minute now to watch the video of this landmark event and share it with your family and friends.
