Even before sin marred creation, humanity faced a problem: social isolation. God created us for relationships. As such, from the beginning of time, what the world has needed and continues to need is love: the love of friends who love at all times, who bear each other’s burdens, who are kind to each other, who are patient and forgiving, who are good influences.
We explore the kinds of friendships the world does not need. And we celebrate the gift of friendship offered by Jesus: friend of sinners.
