The Community of the Meal
The early Jesus movements who gathered around a meal to support each other, offering mutual pastoral care and a sense of belonging.
In this short sermon Glynn talks about the early Jesus movements who gathered around a meal to support each other, offering mutual pastoral care and a sense of belonging. One of the metaphors to describe their communal life was the body. This metaphor though was connected with a radical egalitarian vision for the whole world, a vision that would lead them into conflict with the empire.
