Jesus and Justice Always Kiss: A Plea to Youth Pastors Making Out with Empire
As our Peace Tree Community has started to experience, instead of Christians going door knocking, people will start to knock on our door and ask “Why?”
Why do you let homeless people and refugees stay with you?
Why do the local kids hang out with wadjalas (white fellas) like you?
Why were you on the news peacefully protesting?
Why do you have time for me when no one else does?
Why do you volunteer in the community permaculture garden when the food often gets taken?
The challenge for youth pastors is the challenge of hearing Jesus say, “Follow me”; to lose our lives in living God’s love.
