We Don’t Build Walls to Keep People Out

Friends Church Calgary Weekly Message

Speaker: Vince Klassen

Throughout history, faith communities have constructed boundaries—both tangible and intangible—that define who belongs and who does not. These barriers, whether they are the physical walls of a church or the unspoken criteria for acceptance, often determine who feels welcomed and who feels excluded.

For over two decades, Friends Church has witnessed how these walls have been used to marginalize and push people away, leaving many either cast out or unable to enter in the first place.

But why do we create these walls? What drives our fixation on distinguishing between insiders and outsiders? Is there a more inclusive path we could take?

We believe there is.

Join us as we embark on a transformative journey, exploring how a year in the "spiritual gym" can reshape your life and foster a community that embraces rather than excludes.
