This is the street corner nearest my house: 
The corner of Sunshine Drive and Sunshine Court, possibly the happiest place on earth. Such a nice neighborhood that we are watching your every move, just in case ... I could score a point on my chalkboard-of-insight if I accused the Church of taking this same atitude, but as I started to chalk up my victory, it all spun just a little. The sign says "Our security is more important than your feeling of welcome." There is a trade-off, the more welcoming you are, the less secure you can feel. Suddenly it isn't so easy to criticize the Church.
The courage to be welcoming, the faith to be welcoming, the trust in God to be welcoming. Whatever it is, I don't have much of it. I probably have a sign just like that one floating in space above me. |
