Paul J. Wadell is professor of religious studies at St. Norbert College, De Pere, Wisconsin, and author of Becoming Friends: Worship, Justice, and the Practice of Christian Friendship (Brazos).
Christians think differently about friendship. Our understanding is rooted in a God who never writes us out of the story of divine love—whatever our failings.
The language of vocation confirms that at no time in our lives are we
exempt from responsibility for others. We never stop being called
to share in the creative and redemptive activity of God through lives
of discipleship.
