In Tottenham and New York: are the chickens coming home?

By Jim Dowling - posted Tuesday, 22 November 2011

So where does this leave us in these dark times?

I think the answer is a simple as it is difficult. The same as in any times, it is time to reject the lure of wealth and violence.

For those who are Christians it is time to reject the twisted version of Christianity practiced by those in league with the Principalities and Powers. It is time, as it has been for 2000 years, to get out of Babylon.

Practice nonviolence. Practice Hospitality. As the car sticker goes, practice random acts of senseless kindness.

Do it with others in community. If we do, despite the dark times, I believe the Kingdom of God is at hand!
