Honored and moved …

Each week I wait with anticipation to see what John Stonecypher has done with the next chapter of my book We Make the Road by Walking. This week’s installment (Chapter 11) is especially powerful and honest – and open-ended; it engages with one of the chapters that was hardest for me to write, on the subject of divinely-sanctioned violence. Read it – and take in the videos too, here.
Quotable:

If we want to stick around another 3 million years, it depends on whether we’re able to learn the ways of peace. It will be hard, but our teacher is Jesus, and he happens to be very good at it.
