"Wars may be fought with weapons, but they
are won by men."
- General George Patton Jr.
War Memorials
On
Veterans Day 1996, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund unveiled a
half-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in
Washington, D.C., designed to travel to communities throughout
the United States. "Bringing The Wall Home" to
communities throughout our country allows the souls enshrined on
the Memorial to exist, once more, among family and friends in
the peace and comfort of familiar surroundings. The traveling
exhibit, known as The Wall That Heals, allows the many
thousands of veterans who have been unable to cope with the
prospect of "facing The Wall" to find the strength and
courage to do so within their own communities, thus allowing the
healing process to begin.
In like manner, we must bring the healing of
Jesus to the wounded Christian soldiers. Let us go to
where they are, both physically and emotionally, and see healing
released in their lives. Let them not suffer one more day
alone. "Barbaric
Christians see Jesus differently than civilized Christians. They
see disciples differently, and they see Christ's mission
differently. The Barbarian Way is a call to escape "civilized"
Christianity and become original, powerful, untamed
Christians-just as Christ intended."
