I think of tornadoes.
It felt strange to me that
my beloved Lutheran church, in the midst of the biggest economic
crisis since the great depression, would spend such little time
talking about domestic hunger and economic issues. Particularly at a
time when the church seemed like it might be on the verge of
splintering, it seemed like we should be talking about what
Lutherans are best at: responding to poverty and advocating for
hunger relief.
Sleepless in Minneapolis
Following in the footsteps of the great Civil Rights leaders who dramatized struggles in order to bring much needed attention to them, I decided to sleep on the streets of Minneapolis during the assembly. Since I had been on more than eight street retreats in San Francisco and lived with the poor in Nicaragua, I felt confident heading to Minneapolis.
