Class Reflection Monday Oct 26th

Today, we continued to explore the ecclesiology of the first century church. Although this period of history looks rather bleak, with an increase of formality and hierarchism, there are still positive elements to be gleaned. Remarkably, the social support structure of Rome was the church. The widows and poor were cared for by the church. What a challenge to us to once again reach out to the impoverished and marginalized, and bring them the holistic good news.
