We are glad that you are able to spend a few moments with us in prayer, communion (1:10), and the study of God’s word.(I Peter 2:18-25, 5:14) Rev. Amanda shares a few challenging words about how we as post modern readers of the 21st century must carefully consider context and audience when reading the word–otherwise scriptures can be used to CLOBBER and EXCLUDE instead of HEALING and LIBERATING. We cannot SKIP over the scripture that causes us discomfort–we must face them head on and have the difficult conversations that will lead to repentance, reconciliation, and redemption. We are the Christian Church, the Disciples of Christ, a movement of wholeness in a fragmented world, and ALL are welcome.
