Acts 8:26-40

Fruitful ministry becomes sustainable when it is shared, person to person and generation to generation.

We are divided. We do not abide each other well.

Willie James Jennings writes about tangible things—bodies, incarceration, healing—with graceful language that’s hard to pin down.

Until Christians can all share the Lord’s Supper, the rift continues. But there is no denying how massively the ground has shifted.

Nine trans Christians tell their stories.

When I met Jonah I noticed two things: he was wracked with overwhelming guilt and very much wanted to die, and he knew the Bible.

In the story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch, I have always been struck by the pronouncements of Philip’s boldness. As a young Christian, I was often called to this kind of boldness: to go out to the stranger and the foreigner and declare the good works of God.

I used to read this as a story of Philip’s boldness and willingness to go even to the stranger to declare the truth. Now I understand just how little Philip knows.
