Our differences and our misunderstandings (between Christians) are due to us not being true to the Gospel.
I'm still having a hard time wrapping my brain both the depth of the phrase and the humility of the person who said it. The sentence was a part of a short speech given by the new Bishop of Grenoble, Father de Kermiel who was named the successor of Father Dufaux two years ago. The transition was completed last Sunday. Father de Kermiel was speaking to a group of leaders from the different Christian confessions in Grenoble who had been invited to an informal reception given to mark the occasion.
I am really far from having that attitude. I don't have much more to say other than to write it again.
Our differences and our misunderstandings (between Christians) are due to us not being true to the Gospel.
amen. i think that the most diabolical 'christian' teaching is that unity means we are weak and watered down. i believe that if we truly understood the gospel those things that divide us and make us judge others as not being spiritually 'right' would fade away.
