A Reactionary Body (1)

Griess uses a medical metaphor to explore the concept of the church body becoming "reactionary"—prone to overreaction rather than measured, righteous responses. The article distinguishes between appropriate individual reactions to genuine threats and an organic state of heightened reactivity in the church, questioning whether portions of the Protestant Reformed Churches may currently be in such a state. This practical theological reflection addresses how the body of Christ should maintain discernment between necessary vigilance and unhealthy reactionism.
