Word from Grace Street: Life as Preparation for Death
My Dear People,
"So I end this book by calling you to live fully, to love wastefully, to be all that you can be and to dedicate yourselves to building a world in which everyone has a better opportunity to do the same. That to me is to be a part of God and to do the work of God. That to me is to be a disciple of Jesus. Finally, that to me is the way to prepare for life after death." -- Bishop Jack Spong
This week I was reading back through Bishop Spong's latest book Eternal Life: A New Vision and came across these compelling and refreshing words.
As he puts it, still more succinctly, "I prepare for death by living."
And may we all do so. This day and each day.
And, through us, by the power of God, may God's Kingdom come.
Your brother in Christ,
Wallace+
