The Body Has a Social Life!
What do you know about Jews in Kelowna? How do you interact with your Muslim co-worker? How do we live with a neighbour or friend who is opposed to "religion?" How do we seek the common good with those committed to other worldviews?
What do the people in our community who do not share our faith in Jesus know about us as Christians? What do they conclude about us?
Christians have always lived in a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, multi-religious, multi-opinionated world. The church, the body of Christ, cannot avoid social life, but what does that look like? How can we seek social transformation that reflects the Kingdom of God? Read Paul's letter to Philemon before Sunday if you have just a few minutes, and come thinking about the social life we are part of in this complex world.
