A recent New York times article on the social challenges of emerging from the pandemic commented that it might be okay not to be best friends with your son’s soccer teammate’s dad. Social circles have shrunk and that could be a good thing. In fact, one psychologist said that humans are only capable of having 4-6 truly deep relationships. And that number includes a family member or two.
The scripture says, “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity.” (Psalm 133:1) I find there is a deep connection with other believers who share a love for our Savior. Even when you don’t get to Level 5 with others, there is still a well-being you experience when you are all together in worship.
Can’t wait to be back inside Christ Church! Hopefully, soon.
“O God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, our only Savior, the Prince of Peace: Give us grace seriously to lay to heart the great dangers we are in by our unhappy and prejudice, and whatever else may hinder us from godly union and concord; that, as there is but one Body and one Spirit, one hope of our calling, one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism, one God and Father of us all, so we may be all of one heart and of one soul, united in one holy bond of truth and peace, of faith and charity, and may with one mind and one mouth glorify thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (For the Unity of the Church – BCP p. 818)
