Christian Unity
Ralph Coelho writes:
The article by Aneel Aranha - Christian Unity: Let's Make It Happen - was interesting, though perhaps it could have been a little more broad based to cover the desire that many of us have to make the world a better place for ourselves, our children and those in need.
Leaders will always fall short and the seats on the right hand and the left hand of God may be of greater importance to some than their work! On the other hand each one of us is commissioned to do God's work by baptism and might be able to discharge such duty better than most leaders. Can we not attempt to do something for people directly? Can we discharge the commission to evangelise them?
Aneel Aranha responds:
You are right in saying that each one of us is commissioned by God to make disciples of men and one of Holy Spirit Interactive's most popular programs is the Discipleship Program, which empowers "ordinary" people to do exactly what you suggest. I hope that you will get a chance to attend it, when it comes to a parish near you. In the meantime, we will try to put down key concepts as presented in the program, in an article or two, to show how simple people like us can make a huge difference to the world.
