Picture Of The Church
In David Brooks’s book The Second Mountain, he describes the dinner table of Kathy Fletcher and David Simpson, where “on any given Thursday night there will be about twenty-six kids sitting around the dinner table” (David Brooks, The Second Mountain: The Quest for a Moral Life [New York: Random House, 2019], 61). These are kids without the means or family structures to eat around a table themselves. After the meal, they might play music. Some might sing. All will share stories, and newcomers are welcomed. This paints a picture of the kind of community a church can be, where young people of all backgrounds are welcomed and nurtured.
