Seems like I’ve been writing a lot this month about how to know if we are Christians. That made me remember this song, which speaks about the primary way Christians are to be distinguished — love. It was written in 1966 by Peter Scholtes, who was a Catholic priest in Chicago. He needed a song suitable for use with a series of interracial and ecumenical events in which his youth choir was to sing. It’s based on John 13:25:
“By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another”
