Jesus Our Brother
helping us to grow
How does a nation of individuals collectively care for itself?
“Over all, we’ve made life richer for the people who have the social capital to create their own worlds. We’ve also made it harder for the people who don’t — especially poorer children.”
What Bible does Santorum read, anyway?
Not once did Jesus ask “the Romans to lower their taxes or lessen their regulations on over-burdened businesses.”

I hear him saying that that not only would the proposed Covenant change relationships, but that indeed it already has, and that it is hoped that staking a claim based on conscience will not prove any further relational injury.
Ash Wednesday
We are to look at ourselves with conscious penitence. We are to confess, and to know our forgiveness. We are to take responsibility for our corporate brokenness and injustice. And we are to commit our selves to a new way, the disciplines of individual goodness and corporate reform.

On being left-handed
Opening the eyes of our faith can be painful. It sometimes reveals glimpses of things about ourselves we’d rather not address.
