good discussion/lecture at underground seminary last night. it was a real challenge to discover discipleship anew... a radical discipleship strait from rom.12. found this in my reading this morning that echoed what we learned and questioned last night:
The first Christians expected people to be freed from suffering, to be liberated from injustice, war, and bloodshed – in short, from the “normal” social order of things. They expected the transformation of all things political and economic, and gave their lives in service to that goal.… This ought to challenge our consciences. We who call ourselves Christians today have done so little in this regard that we must ask, Are we really Christians at all?

Strange...
I have been reading Rom. 12 as well. I am trying to figure out how participitory I need to be as a "secular citizen."
