Christus Manseonum Benedicat!
Genesis 12:1-3
The Lord had said to Abraham, "Go from your country, your people and your father's household to the land I will show you.
"I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you,
and curse those who curse you;
and all peoples on the earth
will be blessed through you."
EQ: Can we deal with controversial matters and still bless those around us, even when we disagree? This is a skill we will hone this semester.
