A Gracious Christianity by Jacobsen and Sawatsky

A deep quote from Gracious Christianity by Messiah College (Brethren in Christ College) professor Douglas Jacobsen and former Messiah president Rodney J. Sawatsky: “The biblical scholar Walter Brueggemann makes the case that genuinely prophetic action on the part of the church - action that calls the kingdom of God into existence in a given society - will almost always spring from sorrow rather than from anger. What moves us to civic action should be what makes us cry; our aching hearts should direct our concerns as Christians in the public sphere.“
