There are many ways to be the church, but the church is most faithful when it reflects the love and grace of God in Jesus Christ.
While insisting on being right, we may in fact be wrong. Practicing grace instead of judgment can lead to reconciliation and deeper understanding.
Our calling is to become more like Christ, by the grace of God.
To be chosen by God is a gift of God's grace and an occasion for deep gratitude, not a matter of pride.
