Shane Claiborne: “Tears were met with teargas.” http://ow.ly/BvwA3

“Dr. King said: a ‘riot is the language of the unheard.’ What happens when folks do not feel like their voices are being heard?”

Another#Ferguson happens.  That first Claiborne line is a powerful way to put it.

I posted this in my Occupy Theology section in my blog because this is an issue of voices being heard,  whether it be the 99% , the victims of racism,  the victims of militarism,  or the victims of economic elites war on the poor.  This is the issue for the church of the 21st century: that it stand with the victims.  In some cases as a fellow victim (as with the 99%),  but also as a community who stand with the voiceless and seek to make those voices heard.
