The Lord's day...

Today being the Lord's Day, here's a little encourageing thought to those of us who are christian and actually feel isolated for believing that Christianity is based on love, tolerance and not on religious bigotry and political hatred. No, not all Christians (even in the U.S.) are conservative or fundamentalist and the world should know that there are progressive christians out there... somewhere...
Here are two inspiring links for you to read on your Sunday afternoon: one is a posting by Amy Sullivan, Whither the religious left?..., on one of our favorite blogs , and the other is also an article by Sullivan in the Washington Monthly, called The Good fight.
And if you have some time left, you can also have a look at The Sojourners, a progressive Christian magazine, committed to peace and justice.
