Dear Bro... I'm just in the beginning of a re-read of Paton's Instrument of the Peace. He is the author and witness to Cry, the Beloved Country and the dismantling of apartheid. He parses each phrase in the plea to serve as an Instrument of Peace. Would that I could send each participant in the drafting of the encyclical a copy as it surfaces this tension of  the personal experience of the Gospel and the Social Gospel. Paton, faced both daily. And so I sought him as a mentor for my own plank removal work - one chip at a time .
I would hope they would draft an encyclical that speaks to both. What does it really mean to become an instrument of peace today in my relationships? in the silence of my heart? and as person living in the layers of community that my choices actively affirm across a day.  Is it the 'seamless garment' we each don in our baptism made visible?  Defining the what ~~ the 'seamless garment' , will the how become implicit ~~ an Instrument of the Peace of Christ?
