As Reverend Fleming Rutledge often preached: the line between good and evil runs through each one of us. For while we carry the sin of Adam in our lives and are inextricably enmeshed in a broken world, we are still human beings created to reflect God’s capacity for loving relationship. And in proclaiming Jesus Christ to have overcome the tyranny of sin and death through his crucifixion and resurrection, we are capable of being transformed and empowered by the Holy Spirit to live into God’s work of reconciling all things within the here and now.
