Is it me or are followers of the way in our culture a little to pre-occupied with 'safe'? I come across people saying or writing things like " we need to create a safe space for this" and a "safe place for that", people need to "feel safe" etc. Surely the message of shalom is far from 'safe'. Jesus was not 'safe'. The cross wasn't 'safe'. Surely we are required to risk everything to love completely and unconditionally, journeying out into dangerous places, engaging with people who don't make us 'feel safe' at all?
