If the Church Were Christian

In this world of religious fanaticism and widespread intolerance, this by author Philip Gulley is an extremely important message to reinforce:

If the Church were Christian...

1) Jesus would be a model for living rather than an object of worship

2) Affirming our potential would be more important than condemning our brokenness

3) Reconciliation would be valued over judgment

4) Gracious behavior would be more important than right belief

5) Inviting questions would be valued more than supplying answers

6) Encouraging personal exploration would be more important than communal uniformity

7) Meeting needs would be more important than maintaining institutions

8) Peace would be more important than power

9) It would care more about love and less about sex

10) This life would be more important than the afterlife
