Education in Faith
All of today's readings speak of the inclusiveness of God's call. God's love and invitation is for the people of every nation. All are invited, all are welcome. No one is more special than anyone else. So, who are we to discriminate on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, age, social status... ? If we want to help build the kingdom of God then we need to move out of our ‘comfort zone’ occasionally and reach out to those who have been rejected for one reason or another. At school we talk to the children about treating everyone with respect, and not judging people based on the way they dress or the colour of their skin. But rather, we reminded the children that each and every one of us is a beloved child of God.
