Sarah Thompson is Outreach Coordinator for Christian Peacemaker Teams (cpt.org), an organization building partnerships to transform violence and oppression.
Ephesians 2:14-16 illustrates the way Jesus’ life, teaching, death and resurrection brought people from different primary-identity groups together. Indeed Jesus’ call was broad, beautiful, and boundary crossing. It was not, however, without challenge as to how people from different primary-identity groups were to come together as part of the larger, new body.
