this line is metaphysical, and on the one side…
I generally avoid writing about religion or politics, though I have a half-written post from months ago on exactly this topic. What brought it up this time is Barak Obama’s keynote speach at the “Call to Renewal” conference. It’s the sort of topic that could alienate people on both sides, but the speach is well-written and I think it walks the line pretty well. I admire someone that’s willing to put his thoughts out there like that, though. I’d recommend reading it all the way through.
(Incidentally, Call to Renewal is run by Jim Wallis, who wrote this book, which looks like it might be interesting.)
Now to go back to being apathetic about politics.
