Christians Need To Shake Things Up.

The wonderful Professor Peter Gomes, a Baptist preacher and theologian (who came out as a gay man in 1992) who teaches at Harvard, hits up the Colbert Report to promote his new book, The Scandalous Gospel of Jesus. He reinforces something I've been thinking about for a while, that Jesus turned things upside down, shook things up, was a rupture to the system (thanks Barry). And, that we Christians need to do the same.  Change is good!
"Churches today are not agents of change, they are agents of conservatism."
