Jesus provides a new path during a discussion at Solomon's Porch. Those listening would rather grab stones to get rid of him than do something new. Does that sound familiar?
Pastors often see themselves being called to "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable." Could we provide better comfort if we reimagined who is truly afflicted?
We hear a lot about a few saints (Hus, Comenius, and Zinzendorf) within the history of the Moravian Church. Who else from our past can inspire us today?
The Moravian Church can feel like it is on the "outside" when it comes to the churches with influence in the United States today. I'd say we are right where we need to be.
