When observing culture, the word “together” frequently occurs. The normal usage of the word “together” seems to assume that if people just get together, they will heal the division in their culture.
Unfortunately, Christians have too often behaved poorly together, sometimes causing further division, while unfaithfully representing the gospel. What kind of togetherness, then, brings human flourishing?
