From Mike James, a moving and sober (but a sobriety mixed with much emotion, faith, and hope) look at 9/11 Farenheit

This end note stands out :
It’s not the whole Church that’s complicit, I know; it’s not all of us Christians. Large swaths of the Church Universal in the world oppose this war and oppose this administration’s policies, as well it should as it seeks to be true to its Lord and its mission. But enough of my (former) church community supports Bush come hell or high water that it feels to me like the Church herself is complicit.

If I struggle to make this distinction after decades in the faith, I know there are many people — whose only exposure to Christianity is that of the Christian Right in the media — who are being repelled from the Church in undifferentiated disgust.

Amen, Mike, and thanks.
