Voice of the Day: Ron Sider
When Christian leaders go to government to call for sweeping structural change, we have more integrity and power when we can say: "We are part of Christian communities that are already beginning to live out what we are calling you to legislate." Our call for costly changes in foreign policy toward the Two-Thirds World designed to implement greater global economic justice has integrity only if we are a part of Christian congregations that are already beginning to incarnate a more simple lifestyle that points toward a more just, ecologically sustainable planet. Our call for nuclear disarmament and international peace has integrity only if there is growing peace and wholeness in our families and churches.

Would it be possible for Sojo to provide a complete citation for the Voice of the Day? Some of them inspire me to more reading -- as this one does -- and I'd like to know the source of the quote. Thanks.>

This is an excellent quote. And I agree with what Jim says.>

Couldn't agree more. everyone screams about poverty and social justice and then decide that a Hummer is the best vehicle for them to drive. our actions speak so much louder than words and christians of all political views are demonstrating through thier spending habits that their money is (quite literally) where their mouth is.>
