"Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but our trust in the name of our
God." - Psalm 20:7 (New King James Bible)
"Some take pride in chariots,
and some in horses, but our pride is in the name of the Lord our God." - Psalm
20:7 (NRSV)
In the language of today, Psalm 20:7 might read: Some trust
in violence and take pride in technologies of war, and some in military power,
but our trust is in the unfailing love and faithfulness of our saving
God.
It is time to move beyond the misdirected strategies of the past few
years and envision a new pathway to true human security - one which seeks not
only the absence of tension, but the presence of justice (Rev. Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr.). The 2008 Ecumenical Advocacy Days assembly will explore new visions
of security in our homes, our neighborhoods and our world. To register visit: http://www.advocacydays.org
