Beautiful

Our culture has a particular definition of what counts as beautiful, a carefully constructed image into which nearly no body fits. Much as in the days of the early church, the powers that be have a vested interest in controlling our bodies. When Peter and John heal a lame man in Acts, the Jerusalem establishment reacts with fear and violence. When we learn why this healing was such a threat, we find a vision for a Church that embraces bodies of all shapes, sizes, color, and more.

Words the Church uses were meant to communicate welcome and love. But they’ve become barriers, confusing to those who don’t have a degree in theology or religion. How can we rediscover the beauty of these words again?
