The questions facing the human race are daunting:
- How do we understand and manage life and death as human beings?
- How do we live together despite the significant differences of our worldviews and cultures?
- How will we live on this planet in a way that respects the ecosystem and those who will live after us?
The questions facing the residents of first century Palestine were no less daunting. In the midst of Roman Occupation and Jewish despair that life could be different, Jesus of Nazareth drew a new vision for how to be human and how to live in human community. When he called them to follow this vision they could not help but follow him. Where was Jesus leading? Where would he lead today, if he were to walk the streets of our towns and cities? What is the heart of Christianity when for so many centuries it has been hidden under cross-embossed armor?
Apprenticeship is a re-imagining of where Jesus of Nazareth leads us as Christians and as Christian communities. Jesus invites us to embrace our human experience as it is because our lives are fully embraced by God. Being so affirmed in life, we are free to join Jesus in public, nonviolent leadership as participants in God’s healing of the Earth.
