The Book of Belonging Part 3: A Family of Belonging
Is a relationship with God more contract or covenant? The agreement(s) God made with Abraham and Sarah in Genesis 12-17 were both spiritual and political, personal and collective. How did/do the concerns at one end of that spectrum impact the concerns of the other end? Where does your relationship with God fall in that continuum and what does that mean for your faith? How does a local church, existing on both ends, balance the tension between them in ways that are inclusive and accountable, flexible and structured?
