Description / Abstract

"What does it mean to be a Holy People who are empowered by the Holy Spirit? The seemingly contradictory title of this paper gives clues to my answer. Stated plainly, I will argue that a Holy People is found in an embrace of our shared brokenness, which through the outworking of the Holy Spirit is brought to a less perfect perfection in the midst of community. This statement will be broken down and explained below and then brought back together in my final section. In this way, the very outline of my paper exemplifies the move from brokenness to wholeness, while still being admittedly less perfect than my readers would prefer. Nevertheless, in its imperfection, I hope to leave room for the Holy Spirit to move into the cracks of my argument and into our own brokenness and in so doing to draw us closer to God and one another."

Plenary paper for the Global Theology Conference to be held in Pilar, Argentina, in April 2024.
