Celibacy Is A Rare Gift, Not A Cover
- The modern church sometimes glorifies singleness wrongly when sexual sin and passivity are present.
- True 'gift of celibacy' is rare and pertains to those supernaturally free of sexual desire, enabling devotion to service.
Include Singles Through Mixed Hospitality
- Do invite unmarried people into family life with mixed hospitality and holiday invitations.
- Offer practical roles (help with meals, childcare, projects) so singles can plug into household rhythms.
Historic Household Model For Singles
- Historically singles often lived within households and contributed to household missions as paid or resident helpers.
- Modern economics make that model harder, but the underlying goal was people-centered service, not isolating individuals.
