I was unable to make it to the Thursday evening discussion. We had a prior commitment, and honestly, an uncomfortable discussion like this was the last way I wanted to spend my limited time without two kids in tow. But I look forward to a conversation focused on the mission of our church. One of the things I admire about our church is that despite our varying views and backgrounds, we all come together when it's time to pack Thanksgiving baskets, sponsor students in Tanzania, or give back to our community through the CAC and armful of love. It's difficult to demonize someone with different views than you when you're sweating side-by-side with them working on these projects. Did Christ show his love through example or through proclamation and admonition? Thank you for the summary. I was unable to make it to the Thursday evening discussion.
