“Bodies, Oppression, and Gospel” is the theme for the 2017 edition of WellSprings Journal. Our theme verse, “The Word became flesh and lived among us” (John 1:14a), calls us to embrace the embodiment of God’s grace through Christ. How have we as a church lived out that call? What is the gospel, the good news, of our physical bodies? In what ways do the power dynamics of oppression negate the embodiment of Christ? Where is gospel reflected and celebrated in our human relationships? Where is gospel denied in our sexuality, our politics, and our economics? This edition offers insights and stories from across the connection that challenge us to look clearly at the incarnational nature of our faith.
