Abstract

So. It's the week after Easter. Jesus is risen; he is appearing to his disciples; they're getting reorganized after the chaos of the crucifixion-they're getting the band back together. This can mean only one thing is starting to take shape: the church. Yes, you should definitely be scared. Here are the humble beginnings of the Body that would bring us Crusades, Inquisitions, witch hunts, and every kind of resistance to reason imaginable. Now, church has certainly had its glorious years of peace, reason, academy, too, not to mention great works of healing and reconciliation in the world. But it sure hasn't always been perfect. So when I look at the image of the early church in Acts 4, I have to say... I doubt it.

"Now the whole group of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one claimed private ownership of any possessions, but everything they owned was held in common. With great power the apostles gave their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. There was not a needy person among them, for as many as owned lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold. They laid it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need."
