Author Event: Go and Do Likewise with Pastor Terry Kyllo: Following Jesus into our Common Humanity
Thursday, February 1, 2024, 1830 - 2000
Seven in ten Americans feel the nation is dangerously divided. We are living in bubbles, isolated from people of other perspectives, traditions, and cultures. We are also dangerously unequal. Many people do not have equal access to opportunities to care for their family and community. We know we are walking on a dangerous road, but what can we do? In conversation with leaders of many traditions, Pastor Terry Kyllo of Paths to Understanding realized we can all make a difference when we know, work with, and honor people of diverse traditions and cultures.
But many Christians are hesitant to relate to people of other traditions as many have been taught:
- Christianity is the only way to God
- Christianity is God’s only way to us
On his own journey as a follower of Jesus, Terry slowly realized that Jesus taught no such thing. He writes:
“I was born into White Christian Supremacy. But I was not born for it. You weren’t either. The Creator has more beautiful ways for us to live and is restoring what was taken from us. Jesus invites his followers to take the long, painful, joyous, and healing journey of daily baptism to find our identity among all the Creator’s children, all made in God’s image.”
