Many people will agree that we are living in a world in which many people seem to be experiencing an identity crisis. To complicate the matter, this identity crisis has found its way into the Lord's Church. The question must be asked, "What does it mean to be and live as a Christian?" At the center of our Christian experience, we discover that our union with the Crucified and Risen Jesus shapes our identity and our spiritual formation. Cruciform Identity calls Christians to embrace their union with Christ, grow deeper in their relationship with Him, and experience the beauty of the Christian life.
