“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies ... those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end...” — C.S. Lewis I love Lewis (especially A Grief Observed and the Four Loves), but this feels like something said by someone who was never oppressed by robber barons. Precisely. Where the Eschatological Event - by no means a peculiarly Christian phenomenon - ends the cosy, exceptionalist, privilege defining that particular moral code and the perpetual oppression of the world's poor its symbiotic religio-secular apologetics blindly sanction. 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. #WorldDayofthePoor “The poor are all those who have to endure acts of violence and acts of injustice without being able to defend themselves.” @RevDrBarber “Who shall prevent the epidemic of injustice that no Court of Justice is capable of stopping?” #AJHeschel @UniteThePoor "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 @UniteThePoor
