Query for March
*Do we live the virtue of that life and power which takes away the occasion of all war?
*Do we refrain from taking part in war as inconsistent with the spirit of Christ?
*What are we doing to remove the causes of war and to bring about the conditions of Peace?
Where there are hatred, division and strife, how are we instruments of reconciliation and love?
*As we work for peace in the world, are we nourished by peace within ourselves?
