INTRODUCTION
We all know that a house divided cannot stand, and division among a community will reap many negative results.
As a Christian community, we are called to express the love of Christ by loving one another with a sincere heart.
During my ministry, I have often encountered situations of prejudice, racism, and division, among individuals who professed that they are Christians. Inadvertently, many people revealed their inner views towards other races of people, that were contrary to the commandments that the Lord gave. I was also blinded with the sin of prejudice and racism before my conversion to the Church, in 1997. The Lord allowed me to go through many painful trials, in order to purify me of that dreadful sin.
After my purification, I was able to understand the significance of unconditional love, which is a divine gift.
I often find myself reinforcing the meaning of love thy neighbor to fellow Christians. I remind them that we are all equal in the eyes of our Lord, and as members of His kingdom,
