[Thespiritexpress] Paradox and Evolution

[balldinger]

Thanks for sharing this meaningful passage, Joyce. I did some research and the quote is attributed to Shane Claiborne, Common Prayer: A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals.Free all the prisoners! as I've heard Ron say before.Greetings and unified love to all from Montana!~ EdSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

This short (anonymous--since I didn't get the source when I copied it years ago) piece helps me thru difficult paradoxical situations where it is tempting to expel someone for difficult behavior rather than finding ways to reconcile and include.  Here is the quote:Peacemaking doesn't mean passivity.It is the act of interrupting injustice without mirroring injustice;the act of disarming evil without destroying the evildoer;the act of finding a third way that is neither fight nor flight. [It is] but the careful, arduous pursuit of reconciliation and justice.It is about a revolution of love that is big enough to set both the oppressed and the oppressors free.~Author Unknown~-- JOYCE (JOYSEE) PFAFFLE
