I am honored to be part of Adventist Peace Fellowship (APF). Each year we organize a virtual Peace Summit in which we seek to portray the character of Christ more accurately on relevant issues. This year’s summit is titled, LGBTQ & Adventism: Peace, Truth, and Reconciliation.

This petition is one way to start. I have signed and I hope that you join me.
We can no longer remain silent behind the safe security of stained glass.

We can’t fake our way through forgiveness or we won’t feel the peace it provides. - Pastor @Daniel_Xisto | #WhatIsForgiving #SermonNotesTPC

[Takoma Park SDA Church @thetpchurch]

Forgiving is not a subversion of justice or avoiding consequences. Forgiving is not forgetting. - Pastor @Daniel_Xisto | #WhatIsForgiving #SermonNotesTPC

Forgiving is the journey towards wholeness. - Pastor @Daniel_Xisto | #WhatIsForgiving #SermonNotesTPC

Until we can forgive, we remain locked in our pain. Without forgiveness, we remain tethered to the person who harmed us and bound by chains of bitterness. - Pastor @Daniel_Xisto | #WhatIsForgiving #SermonNotesTPC

[Takoma Park SDA Church @thetpchurch]

When we forgive, we become our own liberators. - Pastor @Daniel_Xisto | #WhatIsForgiving #SermonNotesTPC

[Takoma Park SDA Church @thetpchurch]

When we forgive, the person that we help the most is ourselves. - Pastor @Daniel_Xisto | #WhatIsForgiving #SermonNotesTPC

[Takoma Park SDA Church @thetpchurch]

Just because we forgive someone doesn’t mean we need to put ourselves in harm’s way and let them continue to hurt us. - Pastor @Daniel_Xisto | #WhatIsForgiving #SermonNotesTPC

It was the lamb’s life that was scrutinized, not the person’s. - Pastor @Daniel_Xisto | #TimeBetweenSinAndRegret #SermonNotesTPC
