// “What’s with the name ‘Mosaic’?” I hear you asking. Well, there’s a fantastic bit in the Bible that talks about what God is up to in forming a new humanity through people transformed by Jesus; a new community. A diverse, multicultural, multigenerational community:
Now you are living stones that are being used to build a spiritual house…
1 Peter 2:5 (CEV)
I like that. I like it a lot. I love the imagery and symbolism and how it shows what matters to God. Stones – rough, diverse, colourful – being built up into something special. That’s why we named the new adventure we are beginning, as part of the wider Exilio mission, ‘Mosaic’. We’re a small, diverse bunch, a bit rough round the edges, even broken and fragmented, but in God’s eyes a beautiful work of art. The task before us? How to fit all the pieces together!
