Last year at the National Inclusion Conference in Arkansas, I did a dramatization of the Apostle Paul. It’s about 55 verses in Paul’s epistles that when put together really nails down “ultimate reconciliation” A minister of UR for many years took major offense when I took my liberty regarding “boundaries”. One of the verses states, “There is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, male nor female, barbarian nor scythian, bond nor free; no Christ is All and Christ is in All.”
Well I took my liberty and put a 2006 slant on that verse. “There is neither protestant nor catholic, Christian nor Muslim, male nor female, white nor black, rich nor poor, heterosexual nor HOMOSEXUAL; no Christ is All and Christ is in All………HOUSTON, WE HAD A PROBLEM.

Definitely in spite of ourselves.

As Rohr challenged us, we have to allow God to be free to give Himself away to all of us, and each other (in spite of ourselves).

I pray that we are ALL reassessing our non Christ-like behaviors.

Amen. This is one of my greatest difficulties, accepting others for whom they are and not projecting them to whom I desire them to be. Jesus Christ created everyone different, I agree that we are called to conform to his truths because God loves us and all people.
