Annual Meeting of The Mother Church
Held the first Monday in June, the Annual Meeting brings members of The Mother Church together from around the world in-person and online. The theme consisted of two parts. First, it was a Christly reminder that, by reflection, you are the light of the world. And the second part was a Christian request that you let your light so shine.

PEACE AND THE TWO COMMANDMENTS
How can we pray for peace effectively? What can we do to make it possible to experience the promise of “on earth peace, good will toward men.” (Luke 2:14)? As Jesus showed, prayer brings healing. The two commandments—to love God, Mind, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself—offer different ways of praying that complement each other beautifully.
