RT @nick_routledge: @jbralston @DamianHoward8 Ultimately, the Hour isn't a promise to comparative theologians such as ourselves, but to the world's poor - of the revelation and liberation of a realm and reign of truth transcending all fictions and polemics sustaining secular, as much as religious, tyranny and division.

Copy of tweet and quote tweet: Nick Routledge #WorldDayofthePoor “The poor are all those who have to endure acts of violence and acts of injustice without being able to defend themselves.” “Who shall prevent the epidemic of injustice that no Court of Justice is capable of stopping?” #AJHeschel Quote Tweet Nick Routledge “The masses of people live with their backs constantly against the wall. They are the poor, the disinherited, the dispossessed. What does our religion say to them?" - #HowardThurman #WorldDayOfThePoor @UniteThePoor
@JTasioulas Rudolph Steiner claimed the Jesus Event brought the power of the Sun to the Earth, where "the sunburst of the messianic" (George Steiner) describes the anticipated advent - neither peculiarly Christian nor singularly religious - of planetary prophetology's unifying articulation.

Copy of tweet: Nick Routledge Nick_routledge So beautifully stated and so magnificently true. “The messianic hope was never the hope of the victors and the rulers. It was always the hope of the defeated and the ground down. The hope of the poor is nothing other than the messianic hope." - @moltmannjuergen With painting of geometric image and calligraphy reading: Living an authentic life means rejecting the hypocrisy of a society that claims to be democratic, but which violates the most elementary dignities of the Black community. It requires we must proclaim the liberation of the captives. It requires we must raise the hopes of a people who suffer age-old injustice.
