If the Church were Christian: Peace, Love and Life

If the Church were Christian: Peace, Love and Life

If the Church were Christian: Peace, Love and Life

Rev. Wendy concludes her series on "If the Church were Christian," by sharing about "Peace, Love, and Life." The theme explores the essence of Christianity through the lens of Philip Gulley's book, "If the Church Were Christian: Rediscovering the Values of Jesus," advocating for a shift towards values such as peace, love, and prioritizing life over doctrinal preoccupations. Gulley criticizes the church's emphasis on power, sexual matters, and the afterlife, urging a focus on living ethically and compassionately in the present. Ultimately, the message emphasizes Jesus' teachings of social justice, compassion, and the transformation of the world rather than a fixation on the afterlife.

If the Church were Christian: An Authentic Spirituality

If the Church were Christian: An Authentic Spirituality

Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell continues her series on "If the Church were Christian," by sharing about "Authentic Spirituality." In a more authentically Christian church, prioritizing personal exploration over conformity would be key. Rather than strict adherence to rules, there would be encouragement for individual spiritual growth, akin to the dynamic discourse seen in the Sermon on the Mount. Additionally, the focus would shift towards meeting human needs over preserving institutional structures. This aligns with the examples of Jesus and Buddha, neither of whom emphasized building physical establishments.

If the Church were Christian: More Like The Man

If the Church were Christian: More Like The Man

Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell starts a new series on "If the Church were Christian," today. In essence, Gulley suggests that if the church were truly Christian, it would prioritize Jesus as a model for living rather than an object of worship. He highlights the challenges in understanding Jesus due to the significant time gap between his life and the earliest gospel accounts, the variety of non-canonized texts like the Gospel of Thomas, and the contradictions among the four New Testament gospels. Gulley proposes that the concept of Jesus' divinity should focus on humanity's inherent likeness to God, as seen in Quaker theology. He emphasizes that following Jesus' example would lead to profound personal and societal transformations, challenging society to reconsider its values and priorities.
