SLIDES GEORGE READ IN OUR GATHERING
It isn't about a moralistic framework in which the only question that matters is whether we humans have behaved ourselves... It is about the vocational framework in which humans are called to reflect God's image in the world and about the rescue operation whereby God has, through Jesus, set humans free to do exactly that.
—N.T. Wright, Paul: A Biography
True righteousness is when someone is so grounded in the love and grace of God that divine life flows through them to those around them.
