Younger Christians are weary of pitched cultural battles and are longing for the “real Jesus” – a Jesus who talks more about washing feet and feeding the poor than flashpoint issues like same-sex marriage and the sanctity of life.
I've been saying this for years and the Episcopal Church still is stubbornly locked in conversations about social justice issues that were fresh in the 1980's.
Speaking of foot washing, we will be doing so on Maundy Thursday.
