The long and glorious history of our faith is full of days like these where people of good conscious disagree on how we interpret our holy writings and traditions. Happily, none of those days have destroyed us. May today be no different.
Faith
I don’t like you, but I really want to love you
The more I try to love people I don’t like, the more I find out that it’s not just hard. It’s actually costly. It requires something of me, something sacrificial.
Authority
It was as if their leaders, the ones who claimed God’s truth, who called them to follow God’s law, who confidently declared who was “in” and who was “out,” didn’t really know God at all.
Judgment
Condemnation blinds. Only love can see.
Treasure
There is but one way to pursue Kingdom life. One reality to which to pledge our allegiance.
