"To change our world we need a spiritual and a political evolution. The political steps are often very obvious: uphold Human rights, and International Laws, demand our Governments meet their obligations under these Laws, support and reform United Nations, etc., However, all the legislation, resolutions, and fine talk will be of no use, if we do not as men and women evolve and become transformed, so that we, the human family, achieve a more enlightened and humane way of living together, and solving conflicts." [4]

The change we all want to see in the world is the transformation from violent retaliation to non-violent solidarity. Our leaders who choose violence must be led to see that only justice; which requires equal human rights for all, as the only way to peace and security for any. We the people for justice and peace, fuelled by faith, ethics, morality, non-violence and wisdom are the ones to lead our leaders in the ways of peace.

Imagine if those politicians who claim to be Christian actually were on God's side, such as: all people are equal and sacred beings and thou shall not kill.

"Just think of what would happen if God's justice and peace were our heart's desire, and the dignity of every human being our deepest concern. There would be a revolution, which is precisely what God's work, God's mission, is all about."- Bishop Frank T. Griswold
