Just back from a meeting of the BPFNA/Bautistas por la Paz Board of Directors outside Mexico City, I have spent the past week connecting with kindred souls I never met before, along with several I know from previous gatherings. Too early to process it all. I asked one new friend this question. "What is one thing you would as a Mexican like to say to a North American Christian about the relationship between Mexico and the US?"
Response was remarkably quick, and as best I can repeat, "I would like to tell him: 'We are brothers, you and I, each of us in a world full of struggle and suffering. We need each other. I do not understand what motivates so many people to try to grab power-- and it hurts people. In the end there is only one nation.... and the only real power belongs to God.'
