Jesus For President
June 27, 2008. 7PM. Calvary Baptist Church. Washington, DC.
it was good to see shane and chris again. last time I saw chris was in his living room when the book was just being started and ... well, some interesting conversation indeed broke out. which is why i really want to say that while i think i may bring other perspective to the conversation - i really really appreciate the things these guys are saying. and doing. i think its spot on. i think its needed. particularly within american evangelical, let alone christian fundamentalists circles. i perhaps most appreciate the constant theme of the upside down ness of the kingdom of god - which we dont get. i mean we dont understand. which is to say we really dont get it. and we need to talk about it. and keep talking. and keep reminding each other. i also like that they aren't leaning or pointing in a particular political direction. and on top of it all - i think their presentation is gracious and respectful for both people and process. i highly recommend attending an event if you can - to catch up with (or even make) new friends (and not to celebrate emerging church celebrity) and/or reading the book. its in my currently reading queue right now!
it was also great seeing some psalters action again. they bring so freakin much prophetic intensity with them...
and Jay is always such a musical badass motha monster.

Wow, great pics!
And Jesus for President? Dunno. As a Dutchman living in a small Kingdom, I would prefer Him to be THE KING :-)
...right after us, they on their way to canada for their "jesus for prime minister" tour :-)
