Reflection from the President
‘I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.’
John 13:34
The Christlike perspective involves holding two realities close together. One being an honest and open understanding ... and the other being a deep commitment to the way of love (agape) incarnated in Jesus.
