April 2014 Synchroblog – Bridging the Divides

Well, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that Christianity is continually dividing these days. Huge chasms have formed between conservative and liberal camps. Theological positions are becoming more solidly entrenched.  Differing views on biblical interpretation are separating us, creating walls that separate us from living in community together. Churches are splitting. Organizations are finding themselves in the middle of the fray, unsure how to proceed because of the cost of landing on one side or the other.

This month, the Synchroblog will be centered on Bridging the Divides and ideas and perspectives that different bloggers might have on ways to heal these divisions in the church.

We hope somehow these posts can be a healing balm this Easter season.  Post by Tuesday April 22nd 2014 at midnight, and put your link here.  The Link List will be posted by Wednesday April 23rd, and please put it on the bottom of your post so others can access the entire series.  Thanks for participating!
