Narrative Lectionary Reflection for the Fifth Sunday of Easter, Year Three, May 14, 2017
We Christians are not meant to act in a vacuum. We do better when we find ways to work together and hold one another mutually accountable for what it means to be Christ’s body here on earth (or at least our particular version of it) and how we are called to steward resources and share the Good News. Our governing bodies, confessions, creeds, and constitutions help keep us faithful to God’s word and work in the world—at least when we’re at our best. (Photo: Cary Bass-Deschenes, Creative Commons)
