Have you ever hosted or attended a party where, all of a sudden the realization hits that there are more people than were planned for? In no time at all, a frantic grab for chairs ensues and its no longer a priority (if it ever was) to have chairs or place settings match each other. Soon nothing matches, but that is just fine because neither do the guests. In reality, they probably never did. People are as diverse as the chairs and places at the table end up being. Its not important. What is important is that everyone is there for the party and everyone is welcome. The Common Table gathering is an experimental expression of our belief that this is what the kingdom of God was intended to be.
“This is what Gods kingdom is like: a bunch of outcasts and oddballs gathered at a table, not because they are rich or worthy or good, but because they are hungry, because they said yes. And there’s always room for more. (Rachel Held Evans)
More and more of the future of the Church will rally around political purity - where Conservatives only worship with Conservatives and Progressives only worship with Progressives. It is the the bridge-builders, the peace-makers, and the risk-takers that will be the Prophets in our polarized age. (Dan White Jr)
