July 2 - The Two Gates of Freedom

Scripture: Acts 12:6-17

Affirmative action, student loans, the Fourth: these current news events are addressed in the story of Peter's liberation from the gates of prison - and the ironic lack of welcome he initially receives at the gate of his own people. Can we trust our God of the Exodus to liberate us through Gate 1: the prison of our privilege? Can we trust our Christ of the Common Table to free us to open Gate 2: the equity of the Beloved Community?
