Dear Ones -
Come to Supper
That was the title Dr. Holly and I gave to the teaching we co-taught this week. It is based on a story in the Jesus narrative where he is criticized for eating at open table companionship with what the religious leaders of his time called “disreputable people.” Open table companionship was the most radical way Jesus offered his teachings. At table everyone was welcome. He consistently chooses and prioritizes the outsider. The plan Jesus had for a new world order was one the liberated people from systems that dehumanized them.
