Brian McLaren is one of my favorite Christian writers, and writes and speaks so compellingly for "the doubters, the disappointed and the disillusioned." Can't wait to read his new book!

Join S&P for our "Off the Page" talk with Brian McLaren on May 24th @ 10am PT / 1pm ET. Hosted by Spirituality & Practice Reviewer, Jon M. Sweeney. Live on Facebook:

“Christmas did not come after a great mass of people had completed something good, or because of the successful result of any human effort. No, it came as a miracle, as the child that comes when his time is fulfilled, as a gift of the Father which he lays into those arms that are stretched out in longing. . . .
Because of the noise and activity of the struggle and the work, we often do not hear the hidden gentle sound and movement of the life that is coming into being. But here and there, at hours that are blessed, God lets us feel how He is everywhere at work and how His cause is growing and moving forward. The time is being fulfilled and the light shall shine, perhaps just when it seems to us that the darkness is impenetrable.”

Eberhard Arnold, “When the Time was Fulfilled”

"I don't know about you, but in this last week before the election, I'm on pins and needles. Holding both hope and terror for what next Tuesday will bring. I can hardly think beyond it, make any plans for myself or family, my work or the holidays, not knowing what state I, those I love, and our country will be in. Will we be elated and relieved? Or will be devastated, wondering how or if we can endure another term? We’ve been wrestling with weighty questions for four years: Are we really this kind of America? Will we have a future as a democracy, as a planet? If so, what kind of nation and world do we want for ourselves, our children, and future generations? Waiting, wondering, worrying about the answer that will come on November 3 (or hopefully, soon thereafter.) . . ."

Dear Fellow Citizen, It will come as no surprise that I am a proud Democrat, and eagerly voting for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. But in this divisive age where we so easily write off or mischaracterize people with different views and voting records, I think it is important to say why I am votin
