"Discord between Brethren, in which a man does not hesitate to say rude things to another even in the presence of strangers (meaning non-Moravians), and does not apologize for it is ... weighty."
And when members, in spite of such actions, go to the Holy Communion, the Lord will discipline us as happened in Salem some years ago ..."
"Disagreement and hard words may indeed happen, but they should be put away and love reinstated." -- from Minutes of Salem Boards -- 1784

"May we live this day
Compassionate of heart
Gentle in word
Gracious in awareness
Courageous in thought
Generous in love"
