The essay

 The Question:

 "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God."  Matt. 5:9

In an essay of no more than 1200 words, consider How Baptists can be peace-bearers in our world...remember examples from the past  -  either from general history, from Baptist history, from your own church's history or from your own personal observation within the world in which you live and move each day, when peace-bearing or peace-making took place and imagine what the world  -  the human dilemma, the Baptist community, your own church, the world in which you live and move each day  -  could be like if truly people "seek peace and pursue it."  (Ps. 34:14)  Relate your essay to Baptists and how they can be peace-bearers for the times in which we live.
