Title:
Charlene P. Kammerer and J. Michael Laidlaw - Remembrance for Victims of Beirut Massacre (October 28, 1983)
Description:

  • The senseless violence of the bombings in Beirut fill us with deep grief. As persons of faith, we may wish that God would step in and exact judgment but, instead, God asks that we participate in the work of healing by coming together. This act of coming together is an act of hope. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)

  • Sermon start time: (Part 1) 21:12. Sermon end time: (Part 1) 28:10.

  • Key quotation: “For many of us, as persons of faith, we yearn for God to step in and bring judgment on those responsible for these cruel acts of inhumanity. But the God of justice rather demands our willing hands and bodies, and our committed spirits to be a part of the act of reconciliation, whatever the cost may be.”
