Outwitted

He drew a circle that shut me out —

Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.

But Love and I had the wit to win:

We drew a circle that took him in!

    This, for me, is the heart of progressive Christianity: taking everyone in! I may not like their theology or other ideology, but the radically inclusive love of Christ doesn’t give me the option to shut someone out…it is all about bringing them into a circle of love!
