Barbara Brown Taylor on Communal Care-Casting - Progressive (1 Peter 5:7)

Source: Barbara Brown Taylor50 words

"We cast our cares on God—and often God catches them through community. The body of Christ bears burdens together. This isn't privatized piety but communal practice. We care for each other because God cares for us; divine care becomes incarnate in human hands." — Barbara Brown Taylor. Progressive: communal care.
