Faith Reflections discussion questions
by Amy Thoren

1. Read Leviticus 19. What do you notice? What is repeated for emphasis? How can we understand the connection between holiness and social ethics today?

2. In addition to supporting companies that engage in fair trade, what other ways can we promote justice and health for the most vulnerable?

3. Read Matthew 20:1-16. How does this story speak to you? Would you say the landowner is fair or unfair? How is love fair or unfair?

4. How does popular culture define love? Compare this definition to the ways the Bible defines love.

5. If you could throw an alternative Valentine’s Day party inspired by your faith and the biblical texts discussed here (or others), what would it look like?

6. How do you experience both giving and receiving love in your own life? How does the biblical understanding of love affect the way you understand and experience love?
