Hospitality Blog for Denis Hack
This is a most welcome article and is such a gloriously simple,gloriously unadorned openess to the heart of what it is to be christian, what christianity is, what compassion and understanding could be in our fellowships,how we can have a community with integrity, that I am staggered there are not a thousand comments extolling it.The heart is a lonely hunter and it is not theology or theocracy or systems of theology however much they may inform our minds that can sustain us.The basic need of mankind is to love and be loved by and with God and Man in that order.This little article points us towards what could become real true fellowship,instead of these compulsory love-ins where we compulsorily greet our neighbour in church for thirty seconds or less before sinking back into an embarassed silence and our seats.God must squirm to see it and shed a tear or two for what could be.May God by His grace lead us into truth with love and real observable consistent loving in our faith communities.Maybe then the world might ask again who is this Jesus that they,these christ followers follow with such selfless devotion,understanding,and compassionate use of wealth,health and privilege.
