Factions in the Church




Musings from the High Desert show

Summary: After a month of vacation, Fr. Gabriel returns to talk about dealing with factions in the church. Paul is, of course, the authority here, especially in the Corinthian context, where the factions were split along personality cult lines. But the message Paul brought—to avoid dissension and to be of the same mind and the same judgment—remain relevant in our current situations, especially when we consider some alternative ways to translate these terms.
