How do you find peace in this World
of Conflict?
How do your Christian Brothers and
Sisters cope?
Ask them and they will give situations and
answers that will inspire us and furnish hours of
discussion.
But all roads lead to our loving Father, who will
never leave us alone.
World of Conflict
• Information: With the internet, streaming,
webcams, TV, radio, games , etc.. , sometimes
we may wish we were less informed.
• Natural Disasters: Floods, volcanoes, global
warming, sun storms, wow it is
overwhelming.
• Personal Concerns: Racial, social suppression,
illness, family , finance, etc..
Finding Peace Midst of Conflict
• Face Book, Twitter, Androids, Tablets, I PAD,
Texting, e-mail (sort of out of date), etc., its
astonishing!
• How do we cope with technology?
• How do we cope with our children who know
more then we do?
• Sex – Just looking at a TV program is pretty
close to pornography
In the Midst of Conflict
• Egypt, Syria, Sudan, Israel, Mali , etc. in conflict –
US in conflict to decide who we should help.
• Gangs, Drive by shootings, Rape, murder, Drugs,
Realities shows Tattoos, Big Brother, want happen
to Little Brother? Grand parents as parents. Low
test scores, high joblessness.
• I have a headache.
• Our talented and knowledgeable PME Directors
will attack this Theme. Good Reading!
How about You? How are you
coping?
The only constant, unchanging one in
Life, is our beloved Father.
I spend a lot of time learning that.

In 1854 Harriet successfully rescued six
freedom seekers and brought them to St.
Catharine's. Three of the six were her brothers
who joined the AME Church. The following
year it was decided that the AME Churches in
Canada would change their name to establish
their own distinct identity. At the Canadian
General Conference in 1856, some of the AME
Churches changed their name to the British
Methodist Episcopal (BME) Church. The British
Crown of England granted permission to use
the word British in their title. The AME Church
in St. Catharine's became known as the BME
Church-Salem Chapel.
