| Posted 9/2/2001 6:19 PM (GMT -6) |   | While some really good attention has been paid (in posts and topics on this board) to the centrality of the salvation message, even while calling for liberation from oppression and evils, I'd like to offer one short article that puts them both together. Kind of a centerpiece. Simply, it puts spiritual "watchfulness" at the center, and points out that outward action flows anturally from that.
While I have the small book that article/chapter is from, a free link to it can be followed at
Very, very short chapters; they include:"Praxis and Theoria" and, especially, "Neptic and Social Theology". (Neptic==watchful)
For issues of liberation, and of feminist reform I recomend them as a point of "centering." (What would you expect from a potter.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
At some thoughts a man stands perplexed,
above all at the sight of human sin,
and he wonders whether to combat it by force or by humble love.
Always decide: "I will combat it by humble love."
If you resolve on that once for all,
you can conquer the whole world.
Loving humility is a terrible force:
It is the strongest of all things,
and there is nothing else like it.
