I guess the only place I would go in a bit of a different direction would be that I wouldn't say that Christians have a monopoly on bringing about social justice (or on loving others). I do believe that the "way of Jesus" (his ideals and way of living and loving) is the foundation of social justice but I think that those ways are often lived out by people who are not Christians. I personally have some friends who are atheists who put some Christians to shame when it comes to living into the way of Jesus. They wouldn't call it that but as a Christian who knows Jesus I see Jesus in them.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02460971267048638389noreply@blogger.com
