It may be a good time to recall that almost 100 yrs ago wealthy businessmen hatched a scheme to weaken progressive Christianity because the social gospel wasn’t conducive to corporate profits. They poured $$$ into Chr orgs that preached a different tune: the gospel of free market capitalism.

The rage against Bishop Budde is part of a much longer story, one that has profoundly shaped Christianity in this country, & our politics.
I think that focusing on building helping, healing, loving relationships when times get tough is how to get through each day.
Many believe that God will make things right in the after life or some indeterminate future time.
Many believe it’s coming in the next decade or two.
Many just have an abstract hope for hope’s sake.
What do you think?
How do you not despair when faced with difficult circumstances?
(Now, it’s easier to organize when you have capital behind you, but still)
