Archetype 13: Fellowship
Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.
—Acts 2:43–47
The Reading
This reading describes a holy center unifying a committed fellowship of people. A center that asks little and offers much (“my yoke is easy and my burden light”) gives stability to the fellowship.
The Hexagram
The lower trigram is Christ whose attribute is Light. The upper trigram is God, whose attribute is Strength. This gives us Strength grounded in Light. The strength is in the people who make up the fellowship. The light is the foundation that holds the fellowship together.
The Archetype
There is a time...
- To align a strong fellowship to God’s purpose.
- To choose a leader who carries God’s light faithfully and whose core is yielding and soft.
- To know that a fellowship built around such a leader can accomplish great things.
- To know the difference between a united fellowship and a random gathering of individuals.
Now is that time.
