The Sacred Overlap - Learning to Live Faithfully in the Space Between

Summary

In the quickly changing culture we live in, Christians must become mandorla people, who are capable of living naturally with grace and truth. When done well, we live in the sacred overlap, where heaven and earth come together and hold hands. When done faithfully, we live in this both/and reality as faithful witnesses in the way of Jesus.

Additional text

'Justice or grace? Belief or practice? Sinners or saints? Our world seeks compartmentalization. J.R. Briggs looks for common spaces in these paradoxes, and in Jesus, who embodies the sacred overlap in his incarnation. Following this example, the place of tension is where peculiar practices can enable authentic faith to thrive.'
