In this powerful message, we're challenged to confront the disconnect between our Christian ideals and our current reality. The scripture from Ephesians paints a picture of unity in Christ that seems far removed from our divisive world. We're asked to imagine what true peace and oneness in Christ might look like, contrasting it with the conflict-driven narratives that dominate our society. The homily highlights how our addiction to outrage, fueled by media and corporate interests, perpetuates a cycle of pain and division. It prompts us to question whether this cycle aligns with our calling as followers of Christ, urging us to seek a different, more life-giving story that reflects the peace and unity found in Him.

Christ Church is an Episcopal church in South Tulsa, Oklahoma; we welcome all saints, sinners, and skeptics alike.
