Style of Subversion: Being Radical On the Cheap
This is some great writing and challenging thinking about being “hip” We must resist the Powers (of consumerism, globalism, fashion, etc) even as we recognize this as a time to move towards a more faithful embodiment of the Gospel in our 21st century imperial context. The Commodification of Counter Culture One of the challenges in doing this is the way Continue Reading
Imagination Killer
I love this. This has a lot to do with why I feel furthest from the church in America when I see Christians more apt to defend “America” from criticism than they are to uphold a particular theological dogma.

Ironic that so many people in the church adopt the categories and the “realism” of the world, and become skeptics of the relevance of Jesus Continue Reading
Last Best Hope?
This country is still the last best hope on earth—Barack Obama on Letterman in 2007. Things like this provide me with the distance I need from the mania of the impressive campaign of Barack Obama, and the “excitement” he has injected into the American political process. I’m impressed with his speeches, and I find myself feeling that this is what Continue Reading
Simply Enough by Campolo and Claiborne
