What's the Point?

Went to see Shane Claiborne in Toronto last night. It was a good night, a great presentation. Shane and Chris Haw are doing valuable work for the Kingdom.

When we came into the church we found a shiny brochure and a poster on every seat. The poster was the upcoming movie, "The Ordinary Radicals". The brochure was for the magazine being launched by the Simple Way called "Conspire!" I sat there, with these two glossy advertisement in the pew rack in front of me and considered them, carefully, as I listened to Shane and Chris talk about subverting the empire.

Subverting the empire: the movie. Subverting the empire: the magazine. Subverting the empire: the book tour.

I don't know what else to say.
