Businessman William J. Dunkerly wrote under the name John Oxenham. He began writing to break up the tedium of long journeys--and discovered he enjoyed it immensely.
He wrote the words for "In Christ there Is No East or West" (number 548 in The United Methodist Hymnal) in 1908. The theme stems from Galatians 3:28: "There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ."
How do you see that being lived out in your faith community or congregation?
