My Pilgrimage
Continues...a search for Community
It is comprised of people
"We cannot deal
with people like human beings, we cannot deal with them on the high level of
true humanity, unless we really know their origin -- who they are. God tells
man who he is. God tells us that He created man in His image. So man is
something wonderful."
Francis A. Schaeffer, Escape From Reason, Ch. 2
It includes all people
"WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that
among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness..."
Declaration of Independence - July 4, 1776
The model has already been provided
"And all those who had believed were together and had all things in
common; and they began selling their property and possessions and were
sharing them with all, as anyone might have need. Day by day continuing
with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they
were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart,
praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was
adding to their number day by day those who were being saved."
Acts 2:44-47 NASB
In conjunction with my search for a Theology, a desire
for Community was always present. This is that story.
Stay tuned...read
