Many years ago, a large statue of Christ was erected high in the Andes on the border between Argentina and Chile – called “Christ of the Andes.”  The statue symbolizes a ongoing pledge of unity between the two countries. As long as the statue stands, there will be peace between Chile and Argentina.
Shortly after the statue was erected, the people of Chile protested that they had been slighted, because the statue has its back turned to Chile. Just when tempers flared the most, a newspaper writer from Chile penned a line that saved the day. The editorial not only satisfied the people but it made them laugh, by writing: “The statue of Christ faces Argentina because, ‘The people of Argentina need more watching over than the people of Chile.’”
Join us for worship this Sunday as we begin a two part series on The Art of Agreeing to Disagree. Worship services are at 8:30 & 10am.  Live Streaming available at 10am.
