Reconciliation - The Ministry of the Church

In a loud world where speaking takes more value than listening, the church is called to be a non-anxious presence to create space for listening and reconciliation. The world makes changes through force, through cancel culture, boycotts, and the like. These kinds of movements have potential to change policy but rarely change hearts. The church has a responsibility to step into the tension and bring about a transformative reconciliation the brings people closer together. Paul calls this the ministry of the church as Christ's ambassadors and God's co workers (2 Corinthians 5).
