Peace Gospel Sparks Navy Debate Among Clergy
Editor Post reports a clergy consensus discussion on building a larger navy as a peace measure. A quoted divine likens a strong navy to a boxer who can KO opponents, while another minister claims Christianity has civilized the world by bayonets. The piece contrasts these views with Jesus teachings about turning the other cheek and preaching the kingdom of God, urging fidelity to Christ’s mission over war.
