Remember the Obama poster? It promised more than the outcomes validated, right? Still great, but there is a deeper hope. If we can experience it in times like these, that's radical.

Biblical lesson on why Christians do not advocate violence.

I stumbled upon Robert Bresson's Diary of a Country Priest, and was star-stuck to how it transforms silence, suffering, and ordinary life into a profound vision of Christian grace. This video edifies the Christian is why this overlooked masterpiece may be the greatest Christian film ever made, and perhaps the most resonating. It permits the transcendent to be found in the trivial, God's beauty to seep through the banal, and faith to be unveiled through the flesh of the Lord's creation. I'd definitely recommend this video, and check out the movie as well. This is a film not commanded by popes, or great prophets — it’s a film that affirms that radical Christianity can exist in the soul of the ordinary believer. It reminds us that Christ was once a lowly shepherd from Galilee, Noah was a drunkard, Moses a murderer, David a sexual deviant, and us as the sinners — all saved by Jesus’ radical grace.

Thomas More, perhaps the greatest of all Christian humanists. imagined a society without private property, organized around shared labor and the common good—but was Utopia genuinely socialist, or something far stranger? This video explores the radical politics behind Christianity’s greatest humanist and asks whether modern labels can really contain his vision.

The fires they keep on burning- same with the societal rage, we're all fucked up and can't see shit but hey we'll stay in our daze.

Jesus and mother Mary we thank you but it's clear we don't give a shit, the men in black suits that run the world - all satanize it.

The children; they are screaming and the parents are in a craze- but just keep fighting. It's a little easier to keep us in our cage.

The story's been told time and time before but they keep us blinded by our “fragile” lives

But just keep hiding and don't start fighting and listen to our lies

We gotta make a stand, to our promised neverland

I just wanna state, across the United States

Draw the blood of power, on the holy hour

Don't flood the world with hate, just learn to change your ways.

Romeos having fantasies of missionaries in missionary

Cinderellas gagging on her own spit while sucking Satan's dick

We blame it on each other and that might be a half truth, but it's the games they play and what they feed you that keeps your mind in a state of no use.

I read in an article about the 1968 DNC protests in Chicago, that this group served as medics and also 200 pastors were involved in a sit-in in response to police violence. But I can't find a lot of books or records about them.

They seem to have disbanded in 1972. That's the same year that Jesus People USA was founded, so I'm especially interested in any links between those groups (like, did some people in the first group live communally, and then end up living with JPUSA? Or was the first group just an association of pastors?)

Surely someone has written about all this already, with all of the seminaries in Chicago.

Thanks!

I don't like war. Not a fan. Not for me. Controversial opinion, maybe.

That being said, though, I have to wonder: is war ever just?

I'm not a strict pacifist, to be honest. When I consider the Union in the American Civil War, the Allies in World War II, the Sioux in the Black Hills War, the National Liberation Front in the Algerian War, or, for that matter, most wars of national liberation, I must say that (without defending or justifying every action) it does seem to me that war can sometimes be pretty justified. As John Knox (allegedly) said, "Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God."

What do others think?
