To work for healing, restorative justice - whether in individual relationships, in international relations, or anywhere in between - is a primary Christian calling. It determines one whole sphere of Christian behavior. Violence and personal vengeance are ruled out, as the New Testament makes abundantly clear. Every Christian is called to work, at every level of life, for a world in which reconciliation and restoration are put into practice, and so anticipate that day when God will indeed put everything to rights. - N.T. Wright, Simply Christian
Compassion & Mercy - Rev. Gino Curcuruto | 1.28.24
Through the cross of Christ we are drawn into the mystery of the Trinity. This is God's work on our behalf. We are made members of a kingdom governed by a politics of forgiveness and redemption. The world is offered an alternative unimaginable by our sin-determined fantasies. - Stanley Hauerwas, Cross-Shattered Christ
Caring for Creation - Dr. Cyndi Parker | 1.21.24
We cannot know the whole truth, which belongs to God alone, but our task nevertheless is to seek to know what is true. And if we offend gravely enough against what we know to be true, as by failing badly enough to deal affectionately and responsibly with our land and our neighbors, truth will retaliate with ugliness, poverty, and disease - Wendell Berry
