Sanctuary Culture

Sanctuary is less a program than a way of life, less a place than a presence. It is both verb -- something we do -- and noun -- a condition that exists. It is both human construction and the activity of God in human relationships. Sanctuary exists where people feel unthreatened, safe, and valued -- whether they deserve it or not.

When Jesus came to the defense of a woman caught committing adultery when the church leaders of that day were ready to stone her to death, he said, "Whoever is without sin, let them cast the first stone." And all the accusers slowly drifted away. In that moment, Jesus embodied the culture we call Sanctuary. It is this Jesus we seek to honor and imitate.
