Anger - An Islamic Perspective
Anger is the most common 'ailment' faced by the young and old alike. Most of the pain we cause each other has its root in anger. From road rage killings to loud mouth teens, rebellion and injustice all track back to people expressing anger at the wrong time for the wrong reason and in the wrong way.

Luther restored elements of ministry to the laity in the church--hymn singing, pledges by the congregation to aid and assist baptized and confirmed members to grow in faith, and forgive each other sins. Matthew 18 contains a blueprint for church discipline that says more about what the laity does than what the clergy does. I have created a flow chart to illustrate these principles.
