Jesus was a liberal

[st_martin_a]

I preached at my church on Sunday and said the words: "Jesus was a liberal". I was half expecting a few gasps but I looked up and most people seemed to just take it in without looking shocked. I think the majority of people in my church are quite liberal but there's still a significant number who are quite fundamentalist and they tend to be the more vocal ones.
My wife leaves her job as Youth Worker there in two weeks.
Ironically, our 16 year old has started attending regularly again.
I'm still keen to get involved in this other church that is much more progressive though, even though it has a smaller number of youth.
Otherwise, I'm trying to get myself into some good routines as I settle into the new term.

Sadly, in some groups, the loudest voices tend to prevail. (I’ve seen some groups that were destroyed by this tendency.)

Yes, he certainly was a liberal! Thank goodness! But of course, it's what got him persecuted.
