Synopsis

What should we do with enemies?





Jesus challenges us to love our enemies. In today's swirl of hatemongering, political polarization, and online nastiness, even Christians have skirted this command or given it up as impossible or foolish. What does it really mean to love our enemies? And how might our lives and our world change if we did? In this issue we apply these tough questions to real situations, and hear from people who have put this command into practice in some of the toughest circumstances.





On this theme:

- Can we afford to love our enemies in a cancel culture?

- What sort of enemies did Jesus expect us to love?

- The problem with "love the sinner, hate the sin"

- Channeling outrage while working with children displaced by war

- What Coptic Christians know about praying for their persecutors

- Two incarcerated friends defy a racist prison culture.

- What about mental illness, when your mind becomes your enemy?

- Students find ways to debate tough issues constructively.

- A Russian Christian speaks out against the war in Ukraine.
