Peace and love and the redistribution of wealth.
This is what we stand for.
And this is what is under threat in our world.
It is not Marxism.
It is not the devil.
It is the Gospel:
"good news to the poor,
release to the captives,
and recovery of sight to the blind,
to let the oppressed go free."
Luke 4:18 (NRSV)
It is not a bonanza for billionaires.
It is not a rod of iron.
It is not a cult of personality.
It is the Magnificat. (Luke 1:46-55)
It is the Song of Hannah. (1 Samuel 2:1-10)
And it is the message of the prophets.
