The Respectable Church

The Respectable Church

Our Wesleyan Vile-tality series has traced the people called Methodist from their polished, respectable later years back toward the bold, boundary-crossing faith of their beginnings. This week we read from the ancient prophets who challenged the people who loved their worship more than action. When our singing and our justice drift apart, how does God respond? What does God call us to do? This week we consider what happens when churches prize reputation over neighbors, and what it takes for worship and justice to come together.

Scripture: Amos 5:18-24; Jeremiah 7:1-11 (NRSVue)
