To build bridges, we need to think in terms of the whole household of God.
But it's not just about thinking in that vein; it's also about feeling a certain way.
And this is where irenicism comes in. We need to want peace, not just unity.

You excoriated a colleague.
You locked in but left the faucet on for a week.
You were on full grindset but forgot to pay the bills.
Can you really call those failures or mistakes if they can become an opportunity for growth?

@proneighbor@ccimorelli1 The modernist, atomistic, individualistic, legalistic, Lockean “Christian” thinks it’s their responsibility to make the dog and the dog’s owner acknowledge that the poop is theirs to clean up.
How parochial.
To build bridges, you need to give it some unity.
But you also need to give it some genuine peace.
Listen to @kdavidbennett on why we need a splash of irenicism in our ecumenism.

Loving your neighbor means loving other believers.
If you don’t want that, you can’t be a Christian.
If you do, you can’t do it yourself—you need a God with a knack for it.
Listen to @ccimorelli1 on the Spirit’s work in developing doctrine for unity.

Privilege brothers and sisters in Christ.
But also remember that there is a visible and invisible Church. A triumphant and a militant Church. An institutional church and an organic one.
And they all make up the communion of saints.
Disabuse yourself of the notion that the world is going to hell in a hand basket. It's not.
The Savior is still sovereign. The Lord of Light is seated on the throne. Keep working, and just wait.
What can Trappist monks teach us about stewardship, silence, and loving our neighbors?
