    I really like the quote about drawing lines versus circles. I’ve always believed Jesus’ teaching to love one another is the core of Christianity.

        Slaves were welcomed into the early church. And slavery as practiced then was dramatically different from the chattel slavery practiced in the West in more recent history. Not to say that slavery was ever okay ethically, but in various forms it has always been part of human history, unfortunately.
