I think all three of us enjoyed reading Shane Claiborne’s The Irresistible Revolution, so hopefully Jesus For President will be worth checking out! It’s certainly time for a radical rethinking of the way we lived our Christian lives.

reasons why: a working manifesto

Manifesto: a public declaration of intentions, opinions, objectives, or motives, as one issued by a government, sovereign, or organization.

1. A fire burns within to see God’s justice come.

2. We’re set apart for God to do his work: bringing all creation into right relationship with him. To proclaim the gospel not only through words, but through actions.

3. We believe our flawed and incomplete efforts are better than no effort at all.

4. God’s love and salvation not only transforms personal, spiritual salvation, but has power to change the social, physical, emotional, and mental dimensions too.

5. We desire to join as a community to a journey for change, together through struggles and joys.
