May God bless you with discomfort
Tuesday, May 1st, 2007John Liotti quotes this benediction from Philip Yancey’s book Prayer: Does it Make Any Difference?: May God bless you with discomfort At easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships So that you may live deep within your heart May God bless you with anger At injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, So that you may work [...]
A contrast in race matters
Thursday, April 12th, 2007Fortunately, Rev. Al’s reactionary racial motiff isn’t the only option for those who care about reconciliation and justice. Contrast his hypocritical bombast with the humble determination of North Park University Professor Soong-Chan Rah. HT: Peter Ong and Jesus Creed. For good measure, another link to Ed Gilbreath of Reconciliation Blues. And oh, by the way, [...]

The Story Behind the Red Letters
Wednesday, March 14th, 2007Sojourners and other progressive Christian leaders have begun calling evangelical social justice types “Red Letter Christians,” in tribute to the recorded words of Jesus which are commonly printed in red.

Justice: So easy a 5-year-old can do it
Tuesday, March 6th, 2007Who doesn’t appreciate Geico’s cavemen commercials? Provided they don’t get overexposed (a very real possibility given the pilot t.v. episode they’re supposedly filming) they could become an advertising institution.
