".. the early church was an experiment in socialism."
that said from a pulpit in the heart of capitalist, southern, america
the liquidating and sharing in the early (as per Acts) church, such that no one within the church community had lack of anything they were in need of, was a " cultural component of a community living outside its culture " .. a massively different counter-cultural perspective from today
that said from a pulpit in the heart of 'christian' america
".. the Christ-haunted south .. "
that said from a pulpit smack in the buckle of the bible-belt south in america
radical
ballsy
truth
so so needed in a world where we treat our puppy better than we do our ' neighbour ' ..
our jewish asian black buddhist mexican muslim homeless poor hippy lgbt moonshinin' tree-hugging yankee rebel jobless gun-totin' sutherner slave-labourer addicted neighbour ..
praise the God who created humanity as a whole in the image of Godself for such a sermon in such a place on this good day ..
peace to you
