Eye on the world: True reconciliation
In an editorial titled “Fifty years on, practical lessons from German-Israeli friendship,” The Christian Science Monitor writes of Germany and Israel’s “remarkable reconciliation” since the Holocaust, noting that it “sets an example for other people either coping with the wounds of mass slaughter or trying to take responsibility for being a perpetrator of such crimes.”

“Individuals, as nations, unite harmoniously on the basis of justice, and this is accomplished when self is lost in Love—or God’s own plan of salvation” (The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 283 ).
“Jesus aided in reconciling man to God by giving man a truer sense of Love, the divine Principle of Jesus’ teachings, and this truer sense of Love redeems man from the law of matter, sin, and death by the law of Spirit,—the law of divine Love” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 19 ).

In “Ministers of reconciliation”: “The solution to conflict and injustice lies in neither human will nor revenge; it is found in a greater recognition of God as infinite good.” And, “Even when there is or has been intense fighting, awareness of the omnipresence of good and of man’s inseparability from God is a powerful healing agent.”
In “We Have No Enemies”: “As mortals through study gain the true meaning of the words and works of the Master, as they gain an insight into the inspired teachings of Christian Science, hurt feelings will have no place, misunderstandings will no longer occur; for all will know beyond cavil that no individual, no condition, no accumulation of circumstances, no wrong apportionment, no so-called human power, can withhold God’s divine gifts or interfere with His perfect divine plan for all His children.”
