As the 2024 election draws closer and tempers flare, let us pray that we may steady our hearts and be reminded of our Christian responsibility to love all members of the human family: imperfect as we are though loved perfectly into being. Let us pray that cooler heads prevail and that we, as a bruised but beloved human family, may have the grace to raise our glasses as we “drink of one Spirit.”
