No Matter Who You Are
Sunday, Feb. 24, 2008
"No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey..." So begins the credo of Plymouth Church in downtown Lawrence, Kansas. It's meant not only to invite newcomers to the church, but also to invite differences within the church. As Rev. Josh Longbottom says, we should relish the being able to come together across lines of division—rich, poor, male, female, gay, straight, Republican, Democrat, anarchists, artists, pragmaticians—all under the same roof, all committed to learning to see God in each other. The more we succeed in doing so, the more the lines of division will tumble down, and a new humanity—in recognition of its connectedness—can rise up to replace the divisions, and serve as a guide into the future. As Longbottom says, the community at Plymouth is more about questioning together than insisting on predefined answers.
