June 2012 Dear Reconciler Family, This month I thought I would share with you one of the highlights of a Ministry of Reconciliation Chapter Leaders’ meeting.  We invited guest speaker Pastor Charles Burchett of First Baptist Church in Kirbyville, Texas to share some of his experiences as a reconciler. One experience that he shared with…

May 2012 Dear Reconciler Family, The last couple of months have been busy ones for ORM as we seek to share the message and gospel of Reconciliation.  In March I visited the Queen Street Christian Fellowship in Mt. Sterling, KY.  I gave the sermon on reconciliation and then interviewed the two pastors in the photo…

April 2012 Dear Reconciler Family, The last few months, weeks and days have been characterized as a media feeding frenzy.  A lot has had to do with politics and the presidential election.  However, as you well know, an overwhelming amount of it has to do with race.  Our great “racial divide” has risen to the…

March 2012 Dear Reconciler Family, On February 4, I spoke in Glendora, California, about ORM’s participation at the Reconciliation and Police Legitimacy Summit, hosted by the United States Department of Justice in Washington, D.C.  In many American cities the community and the police are simply at odds, and that especially includes members of ethnic groups who…

February 2012 Dear Reconciler Family, In January I traveled to Washington, D.C. to take part in a Reconciliation and Police Legitimacy Summit at Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), an office of the U.S. Department of Justice.  My son, Brad, of the Pasadena Police Department was also invited to attend.  We were asked to go by…

With a small,…

During the month of November Jannice and I had the opportunity to share in the…

November 2011 Dear Reconciler Family, Thank you for your kind support of the Reconciliation Chapter Leaders’ Training Conference in Columbus, Ohio on October 7-9. It was blessed and inspiring.  We could feel God’s presence throughout the conference.  CEO and ORM Advisory Council member John Connors said this:  “Tremendous weekend retreat!  I think you’ve set the…

October 2011 Dear Reconciler Family, A couple of weeks ago my wife Jannice and I had the opportunity to experience a foretaste of Jesus’ dream.  His dream is that we all become one, unified and fully accepting of each other.  I have often spoken on the topic over the years. The experience was attending a…

September 2011 Dear Reconciler Family, What if all Christian churches were to come together in unity?  What would be the result?  How would it impact non-Christians?  I believe the impact would be phenomenal!  I believe the Church would grow dramatically.  It would render dead the argument many non-Christians use on what keeps them away –…
