10/ Against this System, incarnation unmasks the lie of inevitability. What capital, state and militarism name necessity—"the way the world must be"—is but spell, propped by fear, brittle before disclosure. The messianic breaks that script. In its ruins, the true horizon rises.

Copy of tweet and quote tweet here: @nick_routledge· 26/ The messiah is no longer a singular redeemer, neither person nor abstraction, but event-pattern, the space cleared and inhabited by neighborly risk, sacred laughter, and enduring justice.

Like a seasoned sailor working with wind and wave, we too can learn to locate grace in velocity—not despite it.

@RDGStout Seems scarcely any Christian since Jesus has matched the political acumen of St. John Chrysostom—his perception as piercing as his critique unflinching. That said, greed enthroned against covenantal balance is a planetary, transcultural verdict: Empire's idol, the world's curse.

Copy of tweet here: “The vast majority of wealthy people don’t give very much to charity at all,” Ms Dovey told the Financial Times. “Imagine someone setting up a direct debit to charity in their 20s: you will probably find when they are 50 and a multi-millionaire they still have the same direct debit.” The pair has calculated that the median level of giving among so-called high net worth individuals — those with £1m-£10m in investable assets — is just £500 a year. Among the ultra wealthy — those with more than £10m — it is just £240.
