Rise up, people of faith! Rise up, the poor and the oppressed! Rise up, the lost and the lonely, the open-minded and the open-hearted! For the day of our liberation is coming. Hear the sound of its music showing us the way. Rise up, and join the peaceful host! Rise up and be free!

Amen

The Rt. Rev. Steven Charleston

Whenever Christians say, 'But is it Biblical?' I get uneasy. Smashing your enemy's infant against a rock is 'biblical.' I'm much more interested in whether it's Christ-like.

Amen
