It's time for radical action as deep and broad as our faith. We've been given a commission to join God's mission to remake the world. How will you seek justice, defend the cause of the oppressed, meet the needs of neighbors near and far, and make the world a better place?
Scott Bartchy is a radical. He believes in a subversive system that embraces those on the fringes of our society and seeks to establish a new way of life that goes against the status quo.
Kind of like Jesus.
Bartchy, currently the Director of the Center for the Study of Religions at UCLA, notes a great gap between the original, early form of church in the first three hundred years of Christianity, and the modern concept of doing church today.
