The Christian Left Welcomes You... and we are LIVE at www.TheChristia... !
Yes! Yes sir! Yes siree! We are The Christian Left! ... Yes we are; Yes we can; and Yes we will! :D This is only the beginning of our work on this page. Expect many great features as we move forward. Welcome!
Ed Schultz asked on his radio show recently, "Is there a 'religious left'?" Yes, Ed. There is. We are The Christian Left. We're all around you. We're among the people. Take a look. We're part of the Body of Christ. We're Christians. We're Liberal. We make no apologies. In fact, we're pretty sure Jesus was "Liberal." That's why He was killed. Oh and Ed, we love you. Keep up the good fight!
What We're All About:
We're not about Dogma here. We're just Christians who think the political and Christian right-wing have their priorities wrong.
Wikipedia says it pretty well in the following paragraphs:
The Christian left is a term originating in the United States, used to describe a spectrum of left-wing Christian political and social movements which largely embraces social justice.
The most common religious viewpoint which might be described as 'left wing' is social justice, or care for the poor and the oppressed. Supporters of this might encourage universal health care, welfare provision, subsidized education, foreign aid, and Affirmative Action for improving the conditions of the disadvantaged. Stemming from egalitarian values (and what Jesus Himself said), adherents of the Christian left consider it part of their religious duty to take actions on behalf of the oppressed.
The Christian Left holds that social justice, renunciation of power, humility, forgiveness, and private observation of prayer (as opposed to publicly mandated prayer), are mandated by the Gospel (Matthew 6:5-6). The Bible contains accounts of Jesus repeatedly advocating for the poor and outcast over the wealthy, powerful, and religious. The Christian Left maintains that such a stance is relevant and important. Adhering to the standard of "turning the other cheek," which they believe supersedes the Old Testament law of "an eye for an eye," the Christian Left often hearkens towards pacifism in opposition to policies advancing militarism. Many passages in the Bible illustrate the example set by Jesus regarding violence:
Luke 22: 49-51 When Jesus' followers saw what was going to happen, they said, "Lord, should we strike with our swords?" And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. But Jesus answered, "No more of this!" And he touched the man's ear and healed him. (continued...)
