Audio: Shane Claiborne on NPR's Speaking of Faith

Here's the summary that Speaking of Faith posted about Krista Tippett's conversation with Red Letter Christian Shane Claiborne:

Shane Claiborne is an original voice, a creative spirit, in a gathering movement of young people known as the "new monastics." With virtues like simplicity and imagination, they are engaging great contradictions of our culture – beginning with the gap between the churches they were raised in, the needs of the poor, and the "loneliness" they find in our culture's vision of adulthood.

Can you say "The Gay Agenda?" Abortion on demand? Marxism? How many things are preached by red letter activists that are not supported from the "Red Letters" of the Gospels? Listen to them and read along.

I have been listening to the broad cast and it was fascinating. By the way, thanks for weighing in Donny. We can always rely on you to be consistent.

Donny, where do the "Red Letters" condone capitalism?

Preach on brotha Shane! :)

Donny - it's plain as day - RED letter Christians - not white letter or green letter. RED letter - what more proof of their Marxist leanings does anyone need? :)

I didn't have to time listen to the whole thing, but the first 20 minutes where pretty inspiring. I'm impressed by Shane's work.

I am currently reading his book - it is challenging. Regardless of where you are on the spiritual and/or political spectrum the Simple Way that he lives will challenge the heart that is open to God's possibilities. peace

Donny: The gay agenda (as told to me by an actual gay person)-- 1. Pick up dry cleaning 2. Cut grass 3. Make dinner. 4. Pray that someday the Christians in this country start walking the walk and treat EVERYONE with a little common decency and respect accorded by basic human dignity. 5. Walk dog.
