Here and Now...and Yet To Come

We hear from both the left and the right that our faith is a private matter. To enter into public discourse is consider "impolite". Remember the two most impolite topics, religion and politics. I would argue that you can't separate the two, but that is a subject for a different day. Please don't hear this as me lobbying for "retrenchment". A term familiarly describing the likes of Pat Robertson, James Dobson, and Jerry Falwell. This term would lead us to believe that it is our religious duty to "over take" and legislate our faith into action. It's true that this is all we have known since Constantine, but it's time to begin to imagine a different alternative. Perhaps one of "being" the church. For further inquiry see:
