My random thoughts on Christianity, politics and other things.

Enough!

Archbishop Akinola has gone too far. See http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200803/nigeria

It is time for us to do something. No longer can people advocate violence and call themselves "Christian."

The question now is "what do we do?" Prayers, certainly, but something more, and a concerted effort. Letters, perhaps, to the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, to Akinola? Would youagree to send a letter or email to the above bishops? Is there something more (and practical) we can do?

Enough! Akinola advocates violence against GLBT people and against Muslims.

"Enough" is the word Jesus speaks when a disciple draws the sword in Gethsemane (Luke 22:51).

"Enough" must be our word now.

How shall we make this word heard?
