Having cited many evils in the world (entitlement of the wealthy, the rise in disease, recruitment of child soldiers, general apathy, unequal age expectancy, and more) Anthony Gittins writes in his book A Presence That Disturbs: A Call to Radical Discipleship that if Christians do not advocate for the poor and marginalized, if initiative to correct the world’s problems is not the lifeblood of Christianity, “Christianity would deserve to die.” Powerful words. Terror striking words. Biblical words. Words rarely said in a pulpit. Words that we don’t admit to ourselves.
