As we journey in faith, many of us begin to find God in the context of more than one kind of churchmanship. Even if we feel happy where we are, we may benefit greatly from getting out of our particular church 'comfort zone' in order to encounter God in new ways through Christians whose priorities and styles of worship are at variance with our own. This book calls us to a deeper and more compassionate approach to the challenges of diversity among Christians. It addresses issues such as: Are Christians meant to be more than friends?; Jesus Christ as our common identity; Violence between Christians; Radical hospitality; Dealing with difference; The meaning of God among us, and finally, Christians in Christ and for the world.

Notes

The Good Book Stall

Diversity in the family of God, is a great idea but a real struggle to fully accommodate. We are called into community but can default to isolation and self all-too-easily! It requires the generosity of God-empowered grace for this possibility to be fully manifest in our lives. Here in Lorraine Cavanagh’s writing is a warm and wise exploration of fellowship, discernment and revelation. There is a meaningful blend of biblical exposition, stories and personal experience, rooted in some of the relational, social, theological and practical implications of what is ideal. The chapters on Radical Hospitality and Reconnecting with Wisdom are particularly rich, as part of Cavanagh’s compelling invitation to a deeper and more compassionate lifestyle. Themes from Corinthians, the importance of catholicity and generosity of our most holy faith are some of the take away messages for me.
