Evening: Psalm 68:1-20; Luke 13:1-9
Have you ever experienced conflict in a faith community? All human communities experience conflict. But what then? On a larger scale, Jews in Pittsburgh and Christians in Egypt were killed last week at worship. These were instances of religious hatred akin to Pilate’s murder of pilgrims in the Temple in Jesus’ day. Jesus taught that human conflicts show our need of a change of heart (repentance) – as individuals and as societies. Faith communities are schools in which to practise a change of heart towards one another in small conflicts and so prepare our hearts for the bigger, societal conflicts.
