Brian McLaren: Why I’m Joining the Occupation #OccupyChurch #OWS

June 19, 2012 By: Theoblogical Category: Occupy Theology, OWS

Brian McLaren,  another participant/speaker at Wild Goose later this week on Occupy:

public spaces—from economic markets to political processes—have been colonized by powerful corporate elites (the 1 percent, or maybe the 10 percent), elites driven not by an ethical vision but by the relentless demand to maximize shareholder return. The 99 percent are realizing how destructive this colonization of public spaces has become, and by simply coming back—by re-inhabiting public spaces—we are demonstrating that we see what\’s happening and we are not going to tacitly comply with its continuing.
