Synopsis
Peace, prayer, and pressing questions from a wartime sermon A prescient address from 1914 discusses the difficult balance between neutrality, sympathy, and duty as nations wage war. It offers a clear look at why people prayed for peace, while recognizing why stopping short of peace at any price can be wrong.
In this sermon, the preacher urges readers to understand the complex feelings of a nation made of many immigrant communities. It argues that neutrality does not equal indifference, and that restraint should not silence conscience. It also reflects on the limits of peace conferences and the role of faith in guiding nations through hardship, urging practical faith that can influence society after war.
- Explores the tension between wishing for peace and recognizing when force may be necessary to preserve freedom.
- Discusses neutrality, sympathy, and the responsibilities of American citizens during global conflict.
- Considers Christianity’s role in wartime attitudes and the hope that faith can shape postwar reconstruction.
- Offers historical context, references to past peace efforts, and a warning against easy shortcuts to peace.
Ideal for readers of historical sermons, religious reflection, and early-20th-century perspectives on war and peace. It provides a window into how a faith community grappled with duty, compassion, and the quest for lasting peace amidst upheaval.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a sermon delivered by an American priest in 1914, in response to the outbreak of World War I. It opens with a passage from the Bible that asks why humanity engages in conflict when all people share the same God as their creator. The author reflects on the devastating impact of the war on the nations of Europe and encourages his congregation to pray not only for peace, but also for the pardoning of sins and the wisdom to recognize and pursue the path of peace. The author acknowledges the challenges of maintaining peace in the face of prejudice, but urges his listeners to avoid emotional thinking and to seek a clear-eyed understanding of the war's causes and consequences. The author suggests that the war may prompt society to re-evaluate its values, potentially leading to positive changes in how nations interact and how individuals prioritize their own resources. While the sermon was delivered over a century ago, its call for peace, compassion, and understanding remains relevant today.
