This walk through the letter to the Ephesians teaches the church how to be a community worthy of the gospel. In the midst of familiar interpersonal conflicts, the writer of Ephesians reminds them that they are "now in Christ Jesus," no longer strangers to God and, importantly, no longer alienated from each other. Because of this new life in Christ they experience a transformation of their identity - as individuals and as a community. What does it look like for us to live rooted in reconciliation - vertical and horizontal - with God and with the neighbor? How do we practice it in radical ways?
