The word “Christian” means “Christ-like.” If it doesn’t look like Jesus, and it doesn’t sound like Jesus … let’s not call it Christianity. If it’s not about love and mercy, If it’s not good news to the poor, If it’s not about welcoming the stranger … let’s not call it Christianity. @Shane Claibourne

There’s a way of speaking that’s Christlike. There’s a call to mercy for the weak that is Godly…(yep we are still talking about Bishop Budde)

Cometh the hour, Cometh the woman Bishop Budde

The Christmas story in Luke climaxes with Jesus in a feeding-trough because everywhere was full. Matthew’s ends with Joseph and Mary whisking the baby off to a foreign country since the authorities wanted to kill him…. precisely Jesus the homeless asylum seeker. — N.T.
