This is the kind of fear that makes us dig in our heels and defend ourselves. It can become an everyday thing, causing an automatic resistance whenever something different challenges our everydayness. It even happens in the church. But, I ask myself sometimes what do I think will happen if something major changes in the church. I ask myself what do we think will happen if something major changes in the church.
Human fears differ.
These are major categories of social justice. But we have other fears, too, in the church. Safe because Jesus, the Christ of God, is here. And I want everyone, long-timers and newcomers alike, to know they will meet that untamed Jesus Christ here. Do not be afraid.
