Pastor’s Place: Called to Unity
Communities accomplish amazing things together! We rally around families in crisis with meal trains and carpools, we clean up our neighborhoods of debris after a storm, and we raise money for our neighbor going through cancer treatment. But it’s safe to say right now we’re experiencing division left and right in our community. We say to ourselves, “It’s a shame that people can’t see the bigger picture.” (Because it’s nearly impossible for us to admit that we contributed to the division, too!) They disagreed with us, after all. If only they would listen. If only they would understand. If only I could change their mind!
