Three quotations* I posted on the Facebook Group: Radical, Liberal, Progressive and Deconstructivist Theology. I concur with the sentiments expressed but point out the obvious: seeking social justice is not the sole preserve of Christians. Christianity has no monopoly in showing love and kindness for others by campaigning for social justice or helping individuals at point of need.
*When it come to matters of social justice, there should never be such a thing as a silent Christian.
Rev. Dr. Mark Sandlin
*Save us, Lord, from a religion that ignores the cries of the exploited and oppressed. Lead us into a deeper faith that challenges injustice and makes the sacrifices that must be made to build a society that is evermore truly human.
Walter Brueggemann
*Compassion and justice are the primary ethical fruits of the Christian life
Marcus Borg
