@MarlonMillner end/ "What we have to learn is not that the church 'has' a mission, but the very reverse: that the mission of Christ creates its own church. The Judgment is not the last thing of all. What is last and final is creation of a new world. 'The best is yet to come'." - Moltmann

“Man-made history is not history's only dimension. History is not a blind alley. Beyond the mystery is meaning. And the meaning is destined to be disclosed.”

Abraham Joshua Heschel

"God is finally and fully on the side of justice and truth. History does have a direction, meaning, and purpose. God is more fundamental than evil. Resurrection will have the final word, which is the very promise of the Jesus event. The eternal wind of the Spirit is with us."

@stewartdantec Nowadays. "It's all right to talk about the new Jerusalem, but one day, God's preacher must talk about the new New York, the new Atlanta, the new Philadelphia, the new Los Angeles, the new Memphis, Tennessee. This is what we have to do." ~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
