The best answer I know is that God shaped it to be formed as a "colony of heaven in the country of Death." The church is certainly not the kingdom of God! But it is a witness to that kingdom. We are trying to live a life of resurrection in a world where Death gets all the headlines.In our churches, there are people who can't feel safe unless they exclude other persons. Rejecting people is a basic attack on Christ and His teaching.

Incredible--but He said it: we believe it: Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden. He loves us all. Paul the apostle said: I used to judge people as humans, but never again. (Henceforth I will judge no one after the flesh!) Humans are welcome in this church! Come and help us learn to be better humans with you. Love us, teach us, share with us and let us share with you. Let's all learn to live a life of resurrection in a world of Death.
