Why Can’t We All Just Get Along?

On Sunday, June 21, Deborah Suess offered the morning message, “Why Can’t We All Just Get Along?” In Deborah’s own words: “I was planning to bring the message this Sunday on the David and Goliath story. The further I got into the text, the more I kept thinking about our own giant denominational squabbles among we peace-able Friends in North Carolina Yearly Meeting (FUM). And so this Sunday’s message has been renamed: Scriptures & Why We Can’t Just All Get Along.The difficulties we are having as a denomination are not unusual… but they may end with a division. So… where is God in all of this? How can we respond in Love? How might we pray and act?”

You can read her message here:FFM Deborah sermon 15.21.6 or you can listen to it by following the links above under prepared audio messages.
