Shane Claiborne: "Tearing Down the Walls"

October 01, 2018

From picket fences and gated neighborhoods to office cubicles and prison cells, we live in a world of walls. We can end up a lonely people...stuck in the ghettos of poverty and the ghettos of affluence. But God is all about tearing down walls. We are not alone. Stories of compassion and reconciliation invite us into the promise that the gates will not prevail. Poverty and injustice become personal, as we gain the keys to see the suffering around us. The Gospel comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable...but is good news to all of us.
