Acts 2:44 describes an early moment of church saying, "All who believed were together and had all things in common."
"...all things in common."
That's a part of church we don't see all that often anymore.
We're good at believing.
We're pretty good at being together.
...but holding all things in common? That's a tall order.
The bad news (which is actually good news) is that I think we really are all called to live into this seemingly impossible practice of the ancient church. The (other) good news is that the category of "all things" has a pretty wide wingspan.
Maybe we can start by sharing our thoughts, our interpretations, our wonderings, our epiphanies, and our confusion. I think that's one small, but very important area beneath the "all things" umbrella.
Let the sharing begin. After all, a shared blog has to count for something right?
