In a presentist world where wisdom is shrunk to the narrow confines of immediate relevance, the church broadens horizons. It draws upon wisdom and truth from thousands of years ago and speaks to realities that will exist millions of years from now. It situates us within a story that crosses cultures and borders and transcends time and space. It invites the refugees of a relentlessly unstable world to take refuge in the practices and time-filtered wisdom of two millennia of Christian tradition.
