Evening: Psalms 97, 138; Isaiah 49:1-6; Galatians 2:1-9
The Anglican Church of Canada will vote in July about providing for the possibility of same-sex marriages within its definition of marriage. Given people’s divergent yet conscientiously-held views, we may continue living with difference on this as on other matters. The early Church made a contentious decision, too – not to circumcise every new male Christian. Peter and Paul (whose Day it is today) made peace in their difference. So Peter continued attending to the circumcised (Jews) while Paul went out again to the uncircumcised (Gentiles) … they learned to celebrate difference rather than let it divide them.
