My rights, my time, my personal space. We all too easily think that our faith follows on. My church, my spirituality, my calling. However true faith is never self centred. It is not a private experience. Nor is it limited to our religious life, our church, corps, youth group or cell. It is not a private members club! Faith breaks free from such restraints and transforms the world. Jesus said ‘Blessed are the Peacemakers’. Real faith cuts loose from personal piety and dead religion in order to heal and mend a broken creation. That's why the people of faith comprise the key part of God's plan for creation. It is this insurgent community that breaks the endless cycle of war and aggression to establish a new alternative; a kingdom defined by peace and well being. At this years Youth Rally we’ll be looking at what it means to be a peacemaker, both in our homes and churches, but also outside on the streets, in our schools, our clubs, in our communities. We’ll have a look at the story of the Good Samaritan, how did he make peace? As an archbishop once famously said, "The church is the one society who exists for its non-members." Outside Out will provoke us to consider how our faith impacts others and how our church can transform its community. If you're ready to join the peacemaking revolution, we'll see you there! : back to top : back to relationships page Youthwork - The Partnership ...
