Body Memory

"Body Memory" – I Corinthians 12:12-13 Sermon by Dr. George C. Anderson from Sunday, May 7, 2023. "We worship to build Body Memory so as to instinctively love God and serve the world. Serving the world looks different today than it did in Paul’s day. Then it was about giving alms, taking a collection from some members when other members are in trouble, giving a cloak away if one has two, providing a sojourner a meal and room to sleep in one’s home. Today, with the church’s expanded size and resources, it might look like: an afterschool program for children, a church or a hospital being built, supporting a clinic providing mental health care to the underserved, committing to efforts to overcoming class and race inequities, sending thousands of dollars and teams of volunteers to disaster sites, providing a temporary home for those with housing instability, and supporting a seminary and maybe hosting symposiums to train future church leaders. Paul would be amazed." Read the manuscript on our website: https://www.spres.org/body-memory/
