"Through our efforts to bring peace we show the world the kind of king and kingdom we represent. The outcome of our peacemaking is to introduce people to the kingdom. Therefore, the work of justice, when understood as direct testimony to God's kingdom, is evangelistic from start to finish. It is part (not the whole) of God's work of reconciling all things to himself." - Esau McCaulley, Reading While Black
Openness to the Spirit - Rev. Chris Currie | 4.7.24
Spirituality is really quite a modern word. If you had asked anybody in the fifteenth or sixteenth century, 'Tell me about your spirituality,' they would not have had a clue what you were talking about. 'Spirituality' for the Christian is shorthand for 'life in the Spirit,' for staying alive in Christ." - Rowan Williams, Being Disciples
Resurrection Life - Rev. Chris Currie | Easter Sunday, 3.31.24
"Christian faith isn't a general religious awareness. Nor is it the ability to believe several unlikely propositions. It is certainly not a kind of gullibility which would put us out of touch with any genuine reality. It is the faith which hears the story of Jesus, including the announcement that he is the world's true Lord, and responds from the heart with a surge of grateful love that says: 'Yes. Jesus is Lord. He died for my sins. God raised him from the dead. This is the center of everything." - N.T. Wright, Simply Christian
