Interpreting Dreams

In this season of unrest, it's helpful to see conflict as a clash of dreams. Mediators and negotiators must be skillful at interpreting dreams in order to find compromise.

The Church's role is a bit different. Our unique contribution is to interpret and introduce God's dream. How can we know God's dream? We study Jesus. Jesus is the clearest image of God we have ever been given. His dream for every situation will include words like 'love', 'dignity', 'forgiveness', 'self-denial', and 'peace-making'.

Once we discern God's dream for a situation, we can look for ways to introduce it. God's will in God's way. That's life with God together for the world.
