In the Company of Friends

Loving and Wise - Tim McConnell

Nov. 13

Friendship does not mean accepting harm or bad behavior. Love corrects as much as it accepts. Tolerance of divisiveness and conflict is not the way to cultivate a community of faith or nurture true friendship in a church. Those who are in leadership, and all of us together, must keep our eyes open and stay alert for those behaviors and attitudes that might divide the community and betray the beauty of the company of friends. We must be loving above all, but also wise.
