In our anonymous and dehumanized world, the simple practice of friendship i s radically countercultural. But sometimes Christians inadvertently margina lize and objectify the very ones they most want to serve. Chris Heuertz, in ternational director of Word Made Flesh, and theologian and ethicist Christ ine Pohl show how friendship is a Christian vocation that can bring reconci liation and healing to our broken world. They contend that unlikely friends hips are at the center of an alternative paradigm for mission, where people are not objectified as potential converts but encountered in a relationshi p of mutuality and reciprocity. When we befriend those on the margins of so ciety by practicing hospitality and welcome, we create communities where ri ghteousness and justice can be lived out. Heuertz and Pohl's reflections of fer fresh insight into Christian mission and what it means to be the church in the world today.
