And Who Is Your Neighbor?
Jim Wallis

This is part one of an eight-part series exploring the eight
Jesus questions all of us must face, highlighted in Jim
Wallis's new book Christ in Crisis: Why We Need to
Reclaim Jesus (HarperOne), available now. These next eight weeks
will help us go deeper than the headlines, to find our way back
to Jesus in the midst of this intensive and exhausting news
cycle. 

Want to hear this in an audio format instead? We just launched an
eight-episode podcast series called Reclaiming Jesus
Now that features Allison Trowbridge and William Matthews
speaking with Jim Wallis about these questions and their
relevance today.

Who is my neighbor? It's a question that was famously
asked of Jesus, which prompted him to tell perhaps his most
famous parable -- the story of the Good Samaritan.

This may be the most important question for our nation's
future.

The answer to this question refutes and undermines the fear and
hate that animates so much of our political life in the era of
Donald Trump.

As we explored the neighbor question in our new podcast
called Reclaiming Jesus Now, William Matthews, a co-host
along with Allison Trowbridge, said: "One of the most
disheartening things, watching this current administration and
the support the president garners, is that it feels like an
outright rejection of the neighbor."

William is right.

A Pilgrim People: Becoming a Catholic Peace Church

In this book, theologian Gerald Schlabach argues that
globalization is an invitation to recognize an important truth of
Catholic ecclesiology: Christ gives Christians an identity that
crosses borders. To become a truly catholic peace church,
Catholics should recognize that they have always been a diaspora
people, transcending tribe and nation-state.
