How can the barriers be broken?
I take the Renovare newsletter. In a recent edition I was struck by this quote from Brueggemann.
“We dare ask for the middle wall of hostility to be broken down, between liberals and conservatives in the church, between haves and have-nots… in all those arenas besot with violence, rage, and hate… Transform us beyond our fearfulness, our timidity, our excessive certitude, that we may be vulnerable enough to be peacemakers.”
Walter Brueggemann – found in https://renovare.org/articles/reform-our-deformed-lives
What do you make of it? What keeps us apart? Is it fear, timidity, excessive certitude, a lack of vulnerability? All of the above? Most importantly, what is my part or your part in at least weakening the barriers, even if we cannot break them?
Your brother, Malcolm
