The Question For Me Is Not Are We Political, But How Are We Political? We Need To Be Politically Engaged, But Peculiar In How We Engage.

Charity Wins Awards And Applause, But Joining The Poor Gets You Killed. People Do Not Get Crucified For Charity. People Are Crucified For Living Out A Love That Disrupts The Social Order, That Calls Forth A New World. People Are Not Crucified For Helping Poor People. People Are Crucified For Joining Them.
