Jesus for President

I've been trying to read this book written by Shane Claiborne. Its been a tough read and challenging to some of my ideas about God and how we view government, war and the like. Anyhow, I wanted to share that Shane will be in SF in July discussing his book and I imagine discussing intentional communities and new monasticism. Very intriguing stuff! I can't say I'm about to sell everything I have and intentionally move to the inner city quite yet but it inspires me to think about what God intended for the church and us as believers. Let's just say Paul wasn't working a 9 to 5 job with a mortgage while he was spreading the gospel an establishing the early church.

Here's a flyer for you. Let me know if you want to go and perhaps we can all head up together. I make no promises for content or theology only a promise for good food for thought. (They are touring nationwide so I'm sure he'll hit up a city near you as well)
