Which is the bigger danger for Christians today—embracing the world and losing our distinctives, or rejecting it and losing our ability to communicate with our neighbors?
This is not an either/or. Throughout history, Christians have wavered between equal and opposite errors. We have either cocooned ourselves from the world, which means we lose the ability to relate, or we conform to the world and lose the ability to transform. Like Jesus, we are called to be a loving, transforming presence. This is the way of the Jedi Christian and the path I lay out in Christian Wisdom of the Jedi Masters.
