“The steady progress made by North Korea on its nuclear and missile programs is deeply concerning. The US cannot solve this problem alone.

I would urge China, in particular, to intensify its leadership role in helping to solve this crisis.”

For this reason the Brethren have repeatedly stressed a 'back to basics' program for temporal and spiritual welfare.”

A program lives today and dies tomorrow. A mind, if it be open, may change with each new day, but the spirit and the heart are as unchanging as the tides.”
