A powerful statement (Rob Bell at Mars Hill) and one that made me cry and ask how much of that do I, as part of the body, hold as a value in my life, and how much do we as a body here hold as a value in community living. For something to be utterly unacceptable is a hard thing to achieve but I know, in my spirit, that it is, it has to be, a Kingdom value. So what to do about it?
