I think that so many Christians are just begininning to wrestle with how following Jesus should effect their political views. I’ve had to have a sort of “political conversion” of late because I realized that after a lifetime as a conservative I was missing the message of Jesus as a political and social activist. I think this is at the very heart of the Emerging Conversation.

In April, I created several blog entries during Easter Week that really explain my reasoning for this conversion. It started with a fresh understanding of Holy Week. Scroll to the bottom and start with the Palm Sunday entry and read it chronologically. Its intentionally provocative at times, but it was meant as a wake up call because that is how the Holy Spirit convicted me.

thanks for saying so. Conversation is what’s needed, but that seems to be the thing that’s not really happening. I must have missed something because I thought we as the church are supposed to love eachother. Turning your back on someone because they have a differant perspective isn’t love.

Thanks for the bold words on your blog. It is good to see other Christians that recognize their responsibility to follow Jesus into political discussions without loosing focus of his compassionate spirit.

Until more compassionate Christians speak up conservatives will control the conversation and the stereotype that projects all christians as republicans will continue to thrive.
