I have had occasional differences with you (I'm less bullish on asceticism and still believe that desire and technology are redeemable), however, I wholeheartedly agree with every word of this. From now on when someone asks me why I am a Christian Anarchist and what that can possibly mean this is where I will point them. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you for this. Would love to invite you back to Grail Country discuss if you are open to it.

Beautiful talk, Paul. I enjoyed it a lot, and there's lots to think about.

For sure, prayer is a big issue : what it is, what it is for, how it transforms us, and the world.

And we do need to be transformed, I believe. Much more than we need to be actively seeking to transform the world around us.

Great talk, Paul. I generally pop up in these comments to disagree with you on some point, but I have nothing but praise for that talk. I’m still pretty ignorant about Christianity, but that sounded like genuine Christian wisdom to me. It inspires me to dig deeper.
