The Cries of Our Hearts 7/8
We cry out for the capacity to love rightly and well. Augustine defined sin as “disordered love” – loving God/others/self with the wrong emphasis or priority. And that’s helpful. But is it also possible that we find our capacity for love diminished in this age? That our hearts have hardened somewhat as a defense mechanism in a world that does not reward softness? How can the church function as a “school for love” (McLaren), a “dojo for love” (Scandrette), where we practice opening our hearts in safe/strong space?
