...Abandon the Notion...

"It is time to . . . abandon the myth that the world is run by people who respect difference and diversity, and that all we need to do is behave decently in order to win their respect and earn their favor. They do not think that way. They will never think that way. And they will crush those who do. By any means necessary. We must prepare the church to live as sojourners in a foreign land, a land that feels more foreign by the day." Anonymous California Theologian
