christian reflections on the economic crisis

from rachel anderson ... here.

I'm in Chattanooga this week, speaking with Tony Campolo at First Centenary Methodist. Last night, Tony "improved" on the economic crisis ... and as he spoke, I felt the same urgency I felt while writing the sections on economics in EMC. This isn't over. We've treated symptoms but not the underlying disease. We need to deal with the disease.

The disease is a lack of caring, sharing, loving. It has something to do with the 1st and 2nd Commandments

The crises is more conscience than economic. Instead of being about God's business we abdicated personal service to the government. What a consuming beast we have created.

ah, we strive and look for proof of the striving in $ or in houses or in cars or in clothes. then we are surprised when all of our striving is worth no more than houses or $ or cars or clothes!
