Comments on: A Christian Response To Tragedy & Evil http://www.novuslumen.net/a-christian-response-to-tragedy-evil I write within the tension of spirituality and culture, politics and theology, existing and emerging forms of church, the Kingdom of God and Empire America, modern and postmodern thought, & the gritty drama that is my pilgrim story.

I know for me I need to be reminded that the world needs actors and lovers and holders, rather than simply preachers and teachers and talkers and blabbers. -jeremy Thanks John.

I like it. Especially these words: "Jesus acted. And even while he taught, it always accompanied acts of love. And Jesus called us to teach and be and show and explain the loving Way of Jesus to a hurting, broken, sobbing, grieving, cracked world. In the face of pain and suffering and tragedy and evil, the world does not need another idea or teaching. No, the world needs people committed to simply lovingly holding them while they hold the life-less body of their child." Jeremy,
