Theological Journal – September 24 What’s Going on? Alan Roxburgh (The Missional Network)

 On living in the pandemic:

Our vocation is to face the realities of this unnamable moment, to confess the grief and trauma that beset us. The how-tos are dead ends we grab on to when we don’t know what else to do. To acknowledge this is to begin the work of discernment. Facing together the hard questions of this unraveling requires the writing of a new chapter, one that will be very different from the one we’ve written to this point. What is critical in this moment is that we become clear on the source of our hope. Without this we are tossed and turned by every wind and proposal for change that comes along.
