Jesus & Nonviolence
JESUS & ALINSKY
Walter Wink
cont. @ The Impossible
Today we can draw on the cumulative historical experience of nonviolent social struggle. But the spirit, the thrust, the surge for creative transformation that is the ultimate principle of the universe—this is the same one we see incarnated in Jesus. Freed from literalistic legalism, his teaching reads like a practical manual for empowering the powerless to seize the initiative even in situations impervious to change.

ib - this is one of my favorites. Lately, I have been having 'issues' with my mother re religion. I recently copied this for her to read. She has not responded yet. (She's a hardcore Irish Catholic Commando)
My best to your mom, JC. I've always been rather fond of Irish Catholics. Firey. Hope she takes this well.
(I occasionally go commando.)
