I am one of those who has hope for a different kind of economy – encouraged by the fact that ours has fallen – and this is an interesting look at how Barack Obama might shape such a future. I can support this.

the Jesus Manifesto » Hope and Folly
"In some ways it seems my life would look similar [if not a Christian], and so Paul’s declaration that if Christ hadn’t risen all our work and life would be foolish (1 Cor 15:12-20) is a bit disconcerting."

NextReformation » Organic community
"I know this isn’t news to most of us, but it is sobering to recognize that paradigm shifts are the most fundamental.. and difficult.. kinds of shifts to induce. They threaten our very reason for existence, since they hit at elements of personal identity. That’s why this kind of change is usually strongly resisted, and those who attempt to induce it are often demonized."

A Call To Men
"So today I want to call men out of their own oppression by refusing to oppress the other half of themselves: women. And I’m talking flat out refuse. This is not a call to think about it. This is a call to step up and own it as a completely different way of living, one defined by grace, invitation, and permission, not shame, rejection, and fear."

Fascinating article about the city of Dubai. A year ago, all the MBAs wanted to go there, and everyone was dazzled by it. Here is the dark side of that dazzlement, as well as the observation that it is not sustainable.
