Ninth Sunday after Pentecost

In calling us to speak the truth in love the Greek text uses that powerful word agape. That is the love marked by the giving of oneself with no expectation of return. It is finding a way and a time to enter the conversation, to explore the complicities of the participants, of allowing the truth to emerge and respect to come present. It is not about winning, triumph or ‘being right.�" It is about change. It is about growth.
