“What If It Is Not About the Church?” (A29: Proper 6)

Rev. Dr. C. Gregory DeLoach

Exodus 19:2-8a; Psalm 100; Romans 5:1-8; Matthew 9:35–10:8

“The truth is,” says DeLoach, “following Jesus is not about worshipping ‘Churchianity.’ Church is the community of believers, gathered only to be dispersed.” DeLoach says God’s call to us “is a summons forward.”

Rev. Dr. C. Gregory DeLoach is dean of the McAfee School of Theology at Mercer University. He holds a bachelor’s degree from Shorter University, a master of divinity from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and a doctorate of ministry from Columbia Theological Seminary.
