Episode 168: Practicing Justice, Part Three--The Gift of Community

As they continue to explore what it means to actually "do justice" in our lives today, pastors Erica, Sarah, and Steve take a look at what the communitarian practices of the early church in the book of Acts might say to us today.  While their situation was much different from our own, and while there is no commandment in the New Testament that Christians must all share their possessions in common like the Jerusalem church did, there is something powerful about the way they faced troubling times by bearing them together.  And as the conversation leads us to both the monastic communities of the Middle Ages and modern-day communitarian farms like Koinonia in the USA, we may see that there are practices worth adopting in our own lives together today that embody the beauty of the economics of grace.  Check it out in this week's "Crazy Faith Talk."
