Jesus shockingly redraws the boundaries of the new community of God by stating that true kinship in his family rests on hearing and obeying his words. We need to set a place at the table for all God's family - singles, married, widowed, divorced, celibate - and be careful not to elevate the 'traditional' nuclear family as the foundational structure of the Church. Community forms us into apprentices of Jesus--belonging is for becoming!
