Brethren
have a long tradition of “gathering around the
Word:” Taking
the New Testament as our guide, we discuss what
Jesus did - and why. Then we try to pattern our
own lives after his.
“Where two or three are
gathered together in my name;” Jesus promised,
“there am I in the midst of them.” Through the
practices described in this booklet, Brethren
come together - as small groups or larger ones -
in loving imitation of Jesus' actions. At these
times, we're especially aware of God's presence.
We call these practices our ordinances, because
we think of them as instructions from God.
It is enough for the
disciple to be like his teacher.
Matthew 10:24 |
