We sold more then 30 books from Jim’s peacemaking/justice/reconciliation library which is about 27 more then he’s ever sold before. We were also able to see the Jesus for President tour first hand. Haven’t heard about it? Read the CNN story. I’ll admit I was a bit skeptical myself. Haven’t I heard this all before I though. It took me only a few minutes under the big red and white tent to realize that this was something special. Chris Haw and Shane took turns telling excerpts from biblical story interspersed with music from the Psalters. They brought God’s shalom vision alive in a vibrant, engaging presentation. The central question was: "What is a Jesus-follower to do when the empire gets baptized?" You can see a good summary here. I would call it an Anabaptist reading of the Christian story. Others might call it unpatriotic, anti-imperialist or just “the message of Jesus, put within its actual cultural and political context”.

That is not an american name, That's like voting for someone name Obama. It just wouldn't make sense. I'm not even gonna pay attention to his platform. Gosh, I hate Snellville. I know someone here would say that. I know it. I would never vote for a guy named Jesus. That is not an american name, That’s like voting for someone name Obama. It just wouldn’t make sense.
