Sam wrote such a great series on “Getting to Know Our Neighbors” that I decided to put the entire series in a post so that others could read them all in order.
What he describes here looks a lot like the ministry of Jesus and how I believe the church can live and function in the world in loving, non-religious ways.
Read them all and tell Sam “Thank you” for this series.
