Don't despise the small but significant symbolic act. We live still in
this modernist dream which says, "Unless you can change the whole thing,
it's not even worth trying." That's not what Jesus did. Jesus did small but
significant symbolic acts, each one of which was freighted with kingdom
meaning. God probably doesn't want you to reorganize everything overnight --
learn to be symbol-makers and storytellers for the kingdom. Learn to model
genuine humanness in your worship and your stewardship and your
relationships -- the Church's task vis-a-vis the world is to model true
humanness as a sign, as an invitation.
