Abuse of Power, The Power of Naming

We’ll share a conversation together this week about “The Abuse of Power, The Power of Naming”

People are made in the image of God, our Story tells us.  Consequently, the transcendent, ineffable, Divine image is the deepest and truest parts of us.  When we see a lesser trait of our humanity, a broken part, a wounded part, a foolish part, why is it we tend to think we have seen something deep?  Given the Divine in each of us, by seeing that wound haven’t we only seen a veneer overlaying the deepest and trues parts of us?  How does it diminish the deeper parts of us, or each other, to label ourselves by this negative veneer?  How can Christ-like love help us dismantle these false veneers about ourselves, our neighbors, and our enemies.

What role can community play in this? What can quiet space, or meditation do to help?

Let’s share a spiritual conversation on this subject, and hear your stories of your walk with God this week. What is stirring in your heart?
