minute-long tangent

"Many progressive religionists think they can build a movement of people of faith that ignores those issues and concentrates on the 1960s agenda of antimilitarism and the eradication of poverty. They seem annoyed that issues like abortion rights, teen sexuality, gay marriage, stem-cell research and shared power between men and women take up so much space—space they are excluded from because they will not take straightforward, honest positions on these issues." --from an article entitled "sex and the clergy"

wow... so i guess caring about those in poverty really is a "thing of the 60s." gosh, i should really get "in with the times" now shouldnt i?

i wouldn't mind having a little conversation w/ this special person. of course, i say "special" b/c it probably isn't right to say what i'm really thinking.

though it's not that i have any strong feelings about any of this........
