Copy of tweet thread here: Memorial Day Eucharist. @RichardRohrOFM: "Jesus did not say, “Think about this,” “Fight about this,” “Stare at this;” but He said “Eat this!” Sometimes it seems that outsiders can appreciate it more than Christians. A dynamic, interactive event that makes one out of two.” -- Painting on wood. Signage. Food Not Lawns, 2000. First, know food. From food all things are born, by food they live, toward food they move, into food they return. - Upanishads -- "As Gandhi said, “There are so many hungry people in the world that God could only come into the world in the form of food.” God comes to feed us more than just teach us. Lovers understand that.”
@brianmclaren 2/ Gutiérrez: "The preferential options for the earth and the poor are inseparable from each other.” Castillo: “To be understood as central to Christian reflection and action, the relationship between these concerns and the mystery of salvation must be made evident."

Copy of tweet here: @nick_routledge @AimeTim and @UniteThePoor 3/ What *is* ‘poor peoples’ political theology’? For one, we’re clear that redemptive time is actualized in concrete reality, constituting a messianic reality of world emancipation freeing us from enslavement by supremacist political and religious fictions, polemics and powers.

Discernment may not be evenly distributed, but the katechon's more-than-human dismissal is nonetheless well-advanced, omnipresent and planetary. 'Eschatological deferral'? Effectively a bygone daydream, at this point. t.co/AKCPUnBGeX

Good. Adorno: “Triviality is evil - triviality, that is, in the form of consciousness & mind that adapts itself to the world as it is, that obeys the principle of inertia. This is what is radically evil.” Cayley: "Surprise is the structure of messianic experience." t.co/O6zMuiYUWN t.co/BvIlLKqqJp

But Reckoning is not the last thing of all. What is last and final is the New World Creation or 'Third Reconstruction' as @UniteThePoor defines the 'good trouble' of God's coming and arrival. t.co/5kaqJvu36w t.co/VfaUlOEblj
