“We do not draw people to Christ by loudly discrediting what they believe, by telling them how wrong they are and how right we are, but by showing them a light that is so lovely that they want with all their hearts to know the source of it. .”

“Peace is not the product of terror or fear. Peace is not the silence of cemeteries. Peace is not the silent result of violent repression. Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution of all to the good of all. Peace is dynamism. Peace is generosity. It is right and it is duty.”

- Oscar Romero (via redviena)

Archbishop Romero was ultimately assassinated by a U.S. Trained death squad.

"You can judge a nation by the way it treats its most vulnerable citizens"

“You can judge a nation by the way it treats its most vulnerable citizens”

- - Gandhi

This came to mind after I just read that the national abortion rate is 1 in 5.

(via davereed)

So … guys, how do you feel about poverty issues? I’m with you on opposing abortion. Are you with me on opposing the Republicans’ persistent efforts to vilify the poor and use that as leverage to gut our social safety nets?

Shouldn’t cutting services relied on by the poorest and most vulnerable in order to protect the wealth of the richest and least vulnerable cause those of us who agree with Gandhi to flip-the-hell-out?

Nice.

“And this government? It has learned the lesson that Thatcher never grasped. If you want to turn this country into another Mexico, where the ruling elite wallows in unimaginable, state-facilitated wealth while the rest can go to hell, you don’t declare war on society, you don’t lambast single mothers or refuse to apologise for Bloody Sunday. You assuage, reassure, conciliate, emote. Then you shaft us.”

Tragos asks a two-fold question:

What books of the Old and New Testaments most vigorously inform your understanding of what it means to be a Christian? And what, from this understanding, continually evolving as it must, most vigorously informs your politics?
