The first and greatest task of the Church in our modern culture is just to be the Church.
Really be the Church in the fullness of all that this means.
We do not exist to prop up the claims of the state or the claims of the culture. We don’t exist in order to make the world a better place…
The modern challenge is the ancient challenge and that is to be an ancient Christian in the midst of a modern world : to live in union with God in small little and humble ways, moment by moment : loving : forgiving : lending : sharing and keeping Jesus’ commandments and it’s gonna work out. It’s gonna be fine.
That is what Pascha means. We can live like this because God has raised Jesus from the dead. I freely give you all things.
Christ is Risen.
