The church is the body that has primary allegiance outside of itself: we exist for the sake of others. In that sense, we belong to others.

August 28: Belonging to God

We talk about what it means to be a community that belongs to God, to be shaped by Jesus and Jesus's vision articulated in places like the Sermon on the Mount. Formation, discipleship.

September 4: Belonging to each other

We talk about what it means to be a community dedicated to belonging to one another, to living our lives with our fellow sisters and brothers in mind, not just as singular actors in the world with our own narratives, but caught up in the story of God with one another. Community, connection, life together.

September 11: Belonging to the world

We talk about what it means to be a community given to the world, participating with God in God's mission of reconciliation and redemption among all people and all creation. Mission, participation, justice, ecology.
