The Modern Word – John D. Caputo Interview I’m reading Caputo’s book On Religion so this is a supplement.

Grace Revisited
When Pastor Thomas Hoffman explained to me how one of his members took broken glass and designed this art-piece for the Christuskirche, he got my attention. Even broken glass can be turned into beautiful art! And that’s a great picture of what happens when we allow “Grace” to visit us, or re-visit us (some of…
Karibu
[Karibu Video] Whenever I walked back to room 312 when I was in Neuendettelsau, Bavaria, the word “Karibu” greeted me (it means “welcome” in Kiswahili). I’ve been back more than a week now. The “karibu” from the Kit kids were all that I needed (and more than I expected).

Bishop Antony Selvanayagam’s exhortation is worth listening here: “The words of Jesus come vividly and forcefully “Love your enemies, pray for those who persecute you” this is not…
