Genesis 10:1-32
from Calvary Nexus Sunday Sermons · host Bruce Zachary
Contemplating the scope of conflict around the globe, let alone within a home, can be discouraging. Since 1948 there have been 72 U.N. peacekeeping missions. The Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law is presently monitoring 110 armed ethnic conflicts around the globe. UCLA’s Anderson Review published September 2023 observed: polarization by cultural values, not by ethnicity, is related to human desire to associate with like-minded folks (homophily), and tends toward maximum antagonism towards those on the other side of the cultural divide. Political parties have become closely aligned with entrenched polarized values leading to the perception of greater polarization. In the midst of this cultural moment of conflict and polarization how did we get here, and is there meaningful hope of unity?
