Newbigin: relatedness

Friday, November 15, 2013
Meditation:
    Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
    —1 Peter 4:8 (NIV)
Quotation:
    From its first page to its last, the Bible is informed by a vision of human nature for which neither freedom nor equality is fundamental; what is fundamental is relatedness.
