Tell us, as you just did in your campaign-launch speech, inconvenient truths – that we and our leaders have a habit of making mistakes and blaming others – whether it's in New Orleans or Baghdad. Tell us the truth about our past – from our own original genocide and ongoing apartheid regarding the Native peoples of this land, to our profoundly unacknowledged and unhealed legacy of slavery and racism, to our failure to care properly for this beautiful part of God's green earth, to our desperate and shameful violations of our own principles and ideals around the world, from Congo to Chile, and from Central America to the Middle East.
And of course, please tell us the truth about the hope that comes through truth-telling.
. It shows a lot of faith on McLaren's part in Obama and other candidates to be real agents of change for the first time in almost a decade. A faith that I'm guessing is felt by many Americans, as it is by those of us north of the border. Let's hope the candidates come through.

Have you checked out to see what Brian really believes as for the Word of God. YOu might find it very interesting. The Word of God does not change.
You're a dreamer...the Word of God you have was assembled by committees and not even based on the best manuscripts. While I have faith in the veracity of the document, there's nothing magically unchanging about the way we arrived at our Scriptures. The WORD is unchanging--that is Jesus--but the documents should not be worshiped (that's bibliolatry).
