In this episode of Perspectives FUMCSD Pastors Podcast, Rev. Trudy and Rev. Brittany examine the “Acts 2 Church” – which many religious leaders and Christians use as the ideal model to aspire toward as a Church: adding followers daily, sharing things in common so no one is left wanting, and absolute devotion to the Apostles’ teaching. But is that truly how the early Church worked for everyone and at all times?
Jubilee, the Didache (The Lord’s Teaching Through the Twelve Apostles), the difference between the Apostles’ and Jesus’ teachings, and the act of learning as a community are all discussed as Rev. Trudy and Rev. Brittany determine what it means to be an Acts 2 Church.
It’s all part of “Becoming Better Humans” – a multi-episode topic where the women clergy of the First Church of San Diego explore the story of the early church, looking at the days after the resurrection of Jesus to see how the courage and perseverance of the apostles may help us all live better today.
