Scoping things out? Fantastic.
Last Sunday’s Conversation:
Under the weight of hatred and superiority, capitalism and greed, violence and exploitation, the Beatitudes of Luke (ch.6, v.17-26) are radical. This short set of verses speaks to something significant: the Kingdom of God.
The question of the Kingdom of God is not a when question, but a where question. And for queer, trans, and non-binary folks, migrants, travelers, asylum seekers, and refugees, and our unhoused neighbors — the question of whether a place absent of hatred and superiority, capitalism and greed, violence and exploitation is a question of life and death.
That is Luke’s Beatitudes: generational hope that is material and spiritual for those in need of hope.
Coming up this Sunday:
