Worship for May 14, 2023: Being Christian in a Pluralistic Society

We live in a world with so many choices...including what religious expression we wish to follow.  Pastor Russ asks: What makes the Christian faith so unique?  What is our calling in the presence of so many religious options? When Paul was in Athens on his 2nd missionary journey, he acknowledged the many statues to their various gods...and he complimented their religious inquisitiveness to introduce to the Athenians the message of Jesus.  So too, the diverse expressions within our world, and even in our church, need not induce fear.  Instead, we can grow in our love for one another in seeing God already living, moving and having being in the other.
