Revolution in Jesusland
I was checking out BoingBoing today and came across Revolution in Jesusland, a blog about emerging progressive evangelical movements. It’s pretty amazing to behold, and it turns out that I know the guy running the blog.
Here’s a sample of a speaker at an 11,000+ evangelical conference:
With governments that kill…
…we will not comply.With the theology of empire…
…we will not comply.With the business of militarism…
…we will not comply.With the hoarding of riches
…we will not comply.With the dissemination of fear
…we will not comply.But today we pledge our allegiance to the kingdom of God…
…we pledge allegiance.To the peace that is not like Rome’s…
…we pledge allegiance.To the Gospel of enemy love
…we pledge allegiance.To the poor and the broken…
…we pledge allegiance.
It feels great to see progressive born-again Christians once again fighting for progressive goals.
