Preventing a Second Civil War
Posted: January 7, 2021
Echoes of a day that tore the nation apart…
On April 12, 1861, Fort Sumter was invaded by the South Carolina militia triggering the Civil War. As you hopeful know, I am not an alarmist, but the January 6, 2021, attack on the United States Capitol by right-wing rioters certainly emphasized the depth of division in America. This is the time to fervently pray for our republic, to repent of any hatred and anger we may feel toward our perceived enemies, and to work at defusing this explosive atmosphere in our own communities. May God help us all!
