I am a retired pastor and a never-retired music lover. Over the years I have become convinced that it is the musicians, especially the young musicians, who will make much more progress than the politicians, the actors, the athletes or even the official religious leaders, toward achieving the ethnic and racial reconciliation that our troubled world so desperately needs. Two wonderful and supremely gifted singers who I think would achieve so much toward that goal if they could meet each other and collaborate musically are Jordin and Chloe Agnew. For Jordin’s fans who may not know Chloe, she is Irish and the youngest member of the well-known Celtic Woman ensemble and is famous for her “Ave Maria,” “The Prayer” and “Someday, When We are Wiser.” Both Jordin and Chloe were born in 1989. Both appear very excited about their art. Their musical styles are very different but would blend so beautifully and powerfully that the world would sit up and notice, even in countries where English is at best a second language. I pray they may meet.

Peace.
