42. Peace in the Far Country
Peace be with you in this new year, 2021, and in a week where peacefulness has not been much on display in the political chaos south of our borders or throughout the world. But peace we claim, because we can, even in the midst of turmoil, whether our own, or that in the outside world. When we claim peace, when we hold to peace, we offer a ballast for all that is not peaceful, a kind of homecoming place for the spirit of Christ. "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of god", which is to say, the cloak of the divine will be placed upon their shoulders.
This is my last podcast, the third of a series of three personal reflections as a kind of farewell to all of you. And today, I wanted to reflect on the current state of our churches, of Christianity, and its future, and some of the things I have learned in my years ministering within those constructs.
Welcome fellow sojourner, to our Sabbath reflection.
