Br. Jamiee,

I am glad that you took the time to write the book: The Cost of Community: Jesus, St Francis and Living in the Kingdom. I am midway through it and I thank you for your thoughts and your ministry. It was what my heart needed at this time. You reminded me of why Francis was an inspiration in my youth, that he pointed to a way to follow Jesus. Your words are comforting, challenging, sometimes hard and yet done in a gentle way so that I confront my weaknesses and failings with joy and determination to surrender all. May God bless you and the community who do such vital work and ministry. Thank you again

Michael

The Aramaic picture of the Lord’s Prayer in Estrangela script at the top of this page is incredibly beautiful. Where is it possible to get it from? Is it from a manuscript or is it individual Aramaic artwork? Many thanks!

Good points, Tim. I think that to truly pursue good, that will include fleeing from evil. Thanks for weighing in.

Peace,
Jamie

I definitely agree that it is both and that you cannot have one without the other. as i had stated “sin is both.” if we obsess over not being immoral we become pharisees and as i recall Jesus wasn’t too fond of them (what, with the white-washed tombs and all). if we stray too far the other way then we have the same problem that the church in Corinth had. as one of my profs said, “the middle ground is usually where you need to be. not only is it safe but it is biblical.” constantly there are teachings of one thing and then a warning about going to far in one direction (seen best throughout Romans). i agree that our backgrounds have influenced us but there is also the danger of abandoning the right teachings that were muddled with a lack of actions. we need both. pendulums have a way of swinging too far in the other direction but i see that you have yours under control. not that i doubted this but i just wanted clarity. thanks.
a good illustration of the importance of both views:
Romans 12:9 “Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.”
but also:
Romans 12:21 “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
