		<description><![CDATA[This last weekend I attended a Christian Charismatic conference. The guest preacher was a young, dynamic, and passionate man from New Jersey. His voice, expressions, and body language held our complete attention and paved the way for the delivery of a brilliant message.
Without telling you more background stories about him, I&#8217;ll give you an example [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[David Fitch has posted an excellent discussion about the challenges our new President-elect, Barack Obama, is likely to face. Here&#8217;s a few of my favorite quotes.
Fitch starts with this:
The scene from Grant Park on Tuesday evening was mesmerizing, spectral, simply stunning. I sat there looking on (via television) in utter amazement at this &#8220;historic&#8221; moment. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just finished reading David Fitch&#8217;s take on sustainable ministry for missional leaders and pastors. You can read it here. He explained that the temptation to get pragmatic in our ministries (i.e., tell the people what they want to hear in order to pay for programs/salaries) is drastically lessoned when a missional community (1) keeps [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a timely and difficult excerpt from a book of poetry by Wendell Berry:
When I hear the stock market has fallen,
I say, &#8220;Long live gravity! Long live
stupidity, error, and greed in the palaces
of fantasy capitalism!&#8221; I think
an economy should be based on thrift,
on taking care of things, not on theft,
usury, seduction, waste, and ruin.

		<description><![CDATA[Friends, please read this piece I wrote for Jesus Manifesto. I hoped, in it, to express the discontent I have often felt when facing the underbelly of global-consumer-capitalism, and how maddening it can be to find oneself compelled to live within nationalized and politicized states of greed. All that to say, I&#8217;m hopeful (and more [...]]]></description>

As I wrote back in the comments section, I started to see that what I wanted to say likely wasn&#8217;t going to fit for a &#8220;normal&#8221; comment.

Actually, all silliness aside, this is a subject that I take kind of seriously because of the spiritual abuse/manipulation that I&#8217;ve experienced at the hands of power-hungry leaders. Not to mention the sad fact [...]]]></description>
