Ruth in our day… because there is famine in the land…

because there is political and economic turmoil…

Naomi and Ruth are among us… in Kosovo …and Burundi

in Haiti… …and Iraq

… in the USA and the UK

… in Israel and Palestine

on the roads… of the world’s cities and rural areas…

What might it mean to embody God’s Kingdom to people like these? How can we be Boaz today?

To what extent do these readings from different centuries and different cultural perspectives change and enrich our understandings of the book of Ruth? What aspects of the readings you’ve heard today would you want to question and why?

For next week… With the help of the 3 lenses, and by talking with the text, explore Luke’s account in Acts 5:1-11. What might it mean for us today? How shall we live it?
