FROM CONFLICT TO COMMUNION
- Gary Holloway
"Jesus intercedes for us as our mediator before the Father; he asks him that his disciples may be one, 'so that the world may believe' (John 17:21). This is what comforts us and inspires us to be one with Jesus, and thus to pray, 'Grant us the gift of unity, so that the world may believe in the power of your mercy.' This is the testimony the world expects from us. We Christians will be credible witnesses of mercy to the extent that forgiveness, renewal, and reconciliation are daily experienced in our midst."
This quotation sounds very much like Alexander Campbell or Barton Stone or another of the early leaders of the Stone-Campbell Movement. The words could also have come from leaders of a latter generation in the Movement like Peter Ainsley, David Lipscomb, or Dean Walker.

A NEW STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE FOR ATTENDING THE INDIA GATHERING
It is time to finalize your plans to attend our Gathering in Damoh, India. There you will experience the
blessings of worship, learning, fellowship, and service together.
STEP ONE: Register for the Gathering on our website. The deadline to register is December 10, 2016. Make sure you hit the Register Now button after
you fill out the form. Then pay your Registration fee. The transportation and accommodation mentioned
below will be there for you if you pay your registration.
STEP TWO: Book your flights. You may want to look at international websites to compare fares:
or
http://www.momondo.com/ among others. First
book a flight to New Delhi. Then book a flight from New Delhi to Jabalpur. If you arrive late to New Delhi,
someone will be there to greet you (providing you have registered) and will take you to overnight lodgings
for $50. They then will take you back to the airport for your flight to Jabalpur the next day. There is limited
space on the two Jabalpur flights each day, so book soon. The Global Gathering program begins on
Thursday evening, January 12, 2017. Make sure your flights get you to Jabalpur by Thursday afternoon.
STEP THREE: You will be met at the Jabalpur airport (providing you have registered) and driven 2 and ½
hours to Damoh. There you will receive lodging and meals at the campus of Central India Christian Mission
in Damoh, where the Global Gathering will be held. Cost of transport to and from Jabalpur, lodging, and
meals for three nights will total $100 (US) per person, payable on arrival in Damoh.
STEP FOUR: Apply for your Indian visa (you should already have a Passport). First look on the chart here
This is the easiest way to get a visa. Or you can go through your local Indian Consulate. You will need to
book your flight before applying online.
STEP FIVE: Look at the program and anticipate the blessing God will provide as we meet with brothers
and sisters throughout the world.
STEP SIX: Pray for traveling mercies, leaders and speakers on the program, the church in India, the church
in your own country, the church throughout the world, and the world God loved enough to send his Son to
bless.
IF YOU CANNOT COME TO INDIA, START AT STEP SIX. Do continue to pray for the ministry of
World Convention.
