Reciprocal love is the place and form of encounter with God.
--For a Synodal Church:
Communion, Participation, Mission
Scripture is all about relationships. It is not possible to consider yourself a person of the Word and live isolated, cut off from other people or independent, isolated in your own independence. It’s not possible for people of the Word, for the Word calls us constantly to relationship – to relationship with God, yes, certainly, but to relationship with God through relationship with one another. Our relationships are God-based. If they are based in the Word, they are based in God. They are grounded in God’s love which is infinitely forgiving.
