..equality

I strongly believe that the Kingdom of God is defined by and found in radical equality.


[Galatians 3:26-28, The Message] In Christ's family there can be no division into Jew and non-Jew, slave and free, male and female. Among us you are all equal. That is, we are all in a common relationship with Jesus Christ.


I think that this penetrates more deeply then we allow for (internally, educationally, socioeconomically, religiously).

I think that it also redeems and resurrects many worldly entities that we have give up on (economies, labor, political structures, races, the Church).

As ambassadors of Christ we are called to be people who practice radical equality, unwaveringly and audaciously.

I do not think that confusion is an adequate excuse to absolve us from our responsibility to each other and to the Kingdom of God. Responsibility that roots us here on earth, living as the Kingdom is in Heaven.
