elizabeth o'connor, kingdom living, moral imagination

This is one of the greatest challenges that I am trying to understand - not just in my head, but in my life:

The world may be fearful and anxious and weary, but we are not weighted by that world. We are following One who has unfathomable resources and One who makes them available to us and who says, “You must set new norms for life so that people can see what life can be.” This is your task. Your primary vocation is to enter into covenant relationships with others who have also met this Christ - to be that new society into which others can be drawn.
- Elizabeth O'Connor, from Call to Commitment (via inward/outward)
