Where is Jesus in the 21st Century?


For Jan. 5:

Where is Jesus in  21st Century life?

 

Watch “Saving Jesus” video clip:

        

 Read a review of  Reggie McNeal’s  Missional Renaissance



                In  Literature,  Film and Song?
   
               

Read:  Seeing Christ in Films: Part I :

               
                Listen to : “I Don’t Know How To Love Him”
               



In the Episcopal Church?    How does God see Episcopalians?


But I'll leave you with Chris's vision of how God sees Episcopalians:
--God sees us passionately devoted to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
--God sees us willing to fight poverty, disease and injustice.
--God sees us as thinkers.
--God sees us as accepting and open-minded.
--God sees us as reconcilers and forgivers.
--God sees us forming faithful and inclusive communities.
--God sees us as upholders of valuable traditions.
--God sees us devoted to the Eucharist.
--God sees us offering helpful missionary opportunities.
--God sees that we have good news to share.
          ~ From Chris Yaw, Jesus was an Episcopalian (and you can be one too!)

COMMENTS:

Do you think that Jesus belongs only to the Church?  How do we move beyond "Jesus Memory" to  "Jesus Mission?"
