Perhaps Jesus would do like Bishop Marc Handley Andrus of the Episcopal Diocese of California who joined an interfaith coalition and was arrested on December 7, 2006 for laying down in front of a Federal Building’s entrance way as an act of civil disobedience and protest of the ongoing occupation of Iraq and the staggering number of deaths associated with it. (Read the full story here)
To me, Bishop’s actions are an example of someone putting their Faith in Action. It’s one thing to spout scripture and loudly proclaim the tenets of one’s Faith – it’s another thing altogether to shut up and be moved to action by the spirit of your Faith.Â
Kudos to Bishop Andrus and may those religious leaders who aren’t active in protesting the occupation of Iraq and/or other gross episodes of injustice be inspired to stop preaching with their mouths and start preaching by their actions.Â
In the words of St. Francis of Assisi, “Preach the Gospel always and if necessary, use words.”Â
I’m commenting to make you know of the useful encounter my cousin’s princess obtained reading yuor web blog. She learned such a lot of things, with the inclusion of how it is like to possess a very effective helping spirit to get other people completely fully grasp specified tortuous topics. You actually surpassed my expected results. I appreciate you for imparting such good, trustworthy, informative and fun guidance on that topic to Sandra.
