This week, we celebrate “World Communion Sunday” (a 100 year old Pittsburgh creation - ask Pastor Jake about it later!) as we also wrap our month of Peace and Global Witness Offerings. If our earnest desire is for peace to come and for our communion in faith and love to be truly global, how do even begin? This is the question begged by the prophetic expectations on Jesus’ life - that this One will shine a light into the darkness of our world and guide us into peace. It’s possible that the answer to that question takes a thousand forms, and that all of them might be right. In Romans, we find the Apostle Paul responding to a very specific situation about who does what on which day of the week and who eats what in front of whom (See? We aren’t the first ones to find ridiculous things to argue about!). In the process, he offers a perspective so simple and fundamental that it might otherwise go unspoken: be mindful of your neighbor. So what makes for peace for the world? I’m not sure, but in our life it has to begin by making space for the people who are actually next to us. I’ll save you a spot at the communion table this week!
