This week marks the 4th Anniversary of America's invasion of Iraq. 4 years with
an evangelical Christian president, backed by his faithful who believe in the apocalyptic dimensions of this battle of civilizations.
But where are the followers of the Prince of Peace? Where are the adherents of nonviolent civil disobedience against the injustice of this war? The solitary prophets that are taking a stand must feel like Jeremiah standing alone against the imperial powers.
Tonight I went to the ONLY city-wide Christian prayer vigil this week in one of the largest cities in California. There were no more than 30 people that showed up, and only 3 of them, including myself were under 40.
Where are the nonviolent Christian youth? Are they all on college campuses? Are they busy playing Grand Theft Auto? Are they busy sitting around the local Starbucks with their friends talking about how cool the Emergent Church is?
