I meant to do a blog post while in Busan about some of the protests that the World Council of Churches faced while we were there... but never got around to it. Every day, we were met with people outside of the convention centre protesting the WCC and our meetings. From what I could gather (from the few signs in English), the main issues centred around inter-religious dialogue and sexual orientation (which is interesting, because the WCC does not have a position on this).
Fortunately, a new friend that I met in Busan - Sheryl Johnson from KAIROS - has done just this. Sheryl combines it with some other powerful moments from the assembly and asks some great questions for us and for our churches about costly discipleship.
But I am left with questions about how to deepen the cost of my own discipleship, and how we as churches in the land called Canada do the same. Will we be so brave when the consequences are so high? Will we be willing to pay the price of lost friends, lost comfort, lost privileges?
Check out the rest of Sheryl's great post.
