Episode 33: What’s Enough? Unity in the Church and Unity among Christians (Part 2)

Tune in to Episode 32 – Part 2! Lutherans confess that it is enough for unity in the church for the Gospel to be preached in its purity and the Sacraments to be administered rightly (AC VII). And then, as sinners, we turn around and use this very call for unity as a tool to divide “us” from “them.” We create subcultures, identify target markets for outreach, and decide who is worthy enough to be graced by unity with us.

Listen in on another conversation between Sandra and Pastor Riley as they try to figure out what it looks like to be bound in unity through the Word and Sacraments because we are actually unified by Christ.
