How much are we (as a Christian political group) influenced by principals of Liberation Theology? Would more study of Liberation theologists be time well spent for us? Is this a school of thought and action we want to be identified with? If so, how can we avoid the Marxist label (if indeed we want to avoid it)? Is this a path we want to follow?

(next post coming with more basic info about this school of theology, it may take me a bit to write so if your first response is "I'm clueless" (almost always MY first response to about anything) then relax because I am currently writing a simple primer post about this)

Prophetic messages delivered by prophet-like people make us squirm.

We don't like "in your face" challenges, especially when they call us to task, suggest that we change and/or do things in a completely different way.

Recently, a note from SoJo mail, the list serve for Sojourners magazine and community, shared this quote with everyone:

"There is no dearth of Christian service today. But because much of it is service without prophetic compassion, it is powerless to bring about a radical change in individuals and society." Vishal Mangalwadi, quoted in "Cry Freedom", by Charles Ringma.
