The result was that when the whole group arrived in some lonely village or some distant land, they brought good news: good news about better ways of building houses; good news about better ways of growing crops; good news about better ways of health; and, of course, good news about God and about tending to the life of the spirit.It was a message of wholeness, and of holiness—for true holiness is always to do with wholeness: good news for all the people, in all kinds of ways.Good government and the gospel itself are first cousins, and always have been.
