The story of the Acts Community who shared everything in common with one another is a powerful example of the Gospel. It's a story of a community, moved by the teachings and love of Jesus, to live guided by values that ran against those of the world around them. Instead of competing for resources, they shared them. Instead of making the powerful the most important people, they valued the most vulnerable. Today as we struggle to follow the Gospel during this time of pandemic and climate change, which are making our societal inequalities worse, we, too, have the ability to live like this Acts Community, guided by the values centered on peace, compassion, and God's justice.
