It’s a privilege to be a part of this community. In the past weeks we have pondered so many aspects of who Jesus is, what church is, who we are, and how we should live in this world. Discussion has been at times abstract, and at other times, tangible and personal. No subject is off limits if it is on someone’s mind. We bring diversity to our common table, realizing that unity which anchors us all. Seeing this unified diversity is beautiful as we each have our differences, but encourage each other in the things we are passionate about.
This is not to say we have a perfect community. In our search for perfect community, I think we acknowledge there is none. We come together because we are broken, tired, and spent. We come to experience God’s presence, which is partly shown through the way we share each other’s joys and burdens. In our dialogue, listen to one another’s story or ideas, and in turn we are also listened to. Through this discussion we question, dream, learn, and grow together in Christ.
