Plant Where?

35 Jesus traveled through all the towns and villages of that area, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom. And he healed every kind of disease and illness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. —Matthew 9:35–38 (NLT)

Social holiness names the environmental context into which Christians are progressively transformed by grace, which is a fundamentally social one,” and networked society. —Andrew Thompson, “From Societies to Society: The Shift from Holiness to Justice in the Wesleyan Tradition,” Methodist Review 3 (2011): 141–72.

Solitary religion is not to be found there. “Holy Solitaries” is a phrase no more consistent with the gospel than Holy Adulterers. The gospel of Christ knows of no religion, but social; no holiness but social holiness. Faith working by love, is the length and breadth and depth and height of Christian perfection. —John Wesley, Hymns and Sacred Poems (1739), Preface, page viii.

What do we plant…the love of Jesus
Why do we plant…because Jesus told us to share his love
Where do we plant…in our third places
