Peace resonates at the heart of our most significant global moments. As church bells rang across Britain commemorating VE Day, the smoke rose from the Vatican chimney announcing a new Pope whose first words echoed Christ: "Peace, I bring you".

The convergence of these events creates a powerful backdrop for our conversation with Reverend Khris Kramer, ACORN's new Director of Ministry. Khris brings historical perspective to VE Day, reminding us that these celebrations aren't about glorifying military might, but rejoicing in the moment when fighting stopped. The pageantry, vintage aircraft, and ceremonial events serve to honour those who sacrificed while reinforcing our collective commitment to preventing future conflicts.

Meanwhile, the election of Pope Leo—Chicago-born but a Peruvian citizen—represents both continuity and hope. Coming from the tradition of liberation theology in South America, his ministry has focused on serving the poor and marginalized. Though maintaining Roman Catholicism's traditional theological positions, his compassionate approach suggests a pontiff who may speak boldly against tyranny and oppression.

The ACORN ministry embodies this approach, focusing on bringing Christ's healing love to all people regardless of background. We're "watering the fields" rather than building kingdoms, rising above denominational differences to make each corner of the world more peaceful through prayer and compassionate action.

Join us for this thought-provoking conversation, and connect with Khris as he begins his ministry with ACORN. He's available to visit churches, offer training, or simply share tea and biscuits with your community! Contact us through our website to learn more.
