I would love to see the Church on the right side of history.

Jesus did not send us into the world to make believers but to make disciples.

Only Jesus would be crazy enough to suggest that if you want to become the greatest, you should become the least. Only Jesus would declare God's blessing on the poor rather than on the rich and would insist that it's not enough to just love your friends. I just began to wonder if anybody still believed Jesus meant those things he said.

There are folks who burn the Koran and hold signs saying, "God hates fags" and all sorts of sick things - and they often hijack the headlines with hatred. We know that is not what Christ was like.

If you have two coats you have stolen one. We have no right to have more than we need when someone else has less than they need.

There is an innocence or purity that we see in renewals and in the Mennonite church and a new an invigorated civil rights movement.

There is nothing more sickening than talking about poverty over a fancy dinner.
