As our national leaders prepare for war, Christians struggle with the
appropriate response. See Brian McLaren's
message to the president
published on faithmaps.org
and Rich Nathan's congregational email addressing the question: "How
Should a Christian Think About a Potential War with Iraq?"

Dreaming Peace and Justice by David Brazzeal: "What if the evangelical community was known for an obsession with peace and justice issues from the individual person to the global arena? What if the people that live around us heard and saw mainly peace and justice from us instead of all the other things we dump on them? What if our involvement in peace and justice attracted people to God because it so reflects his personality?"

Transitions by Todd Hunter "Transitions require genuine grief. You are not crazy—well you might be—but not for feeling the blues and blahs inherent in pursuing something that seems as exciting...as your dream of a new life of faithful followership of Jesus and leadership in his name."

The Story We Find Ourselves In: A
review of Brian McLaren's second volume in the "New Kind of Christian
series by Charlie Wear
"Brian McLaren’s second book, in what is likely
to be a multi-book series, spends less time talking about the

No one in this virtual sanctuary was preaching a sermon or singing praises to God. Instead, what they were doing resembled a cyberspace version of a Bible drill, with "f|owrpowr" and "Drake" quizzing a #ChristianTeens regular named "JesusFrk" on his knowledge of Scripture." Issue

With armed conflict imminent, Christians are responding in numerous ways. Some, voluntarily-enlisted men and women, are preparing to fight. Others are engaging in peaceful protest. One thing we can all do is pray. Pray for wisdom for our leaders and for God's kingdom to come, on earth, as it is in heaven, and that His will be done. I commend to you the writing of Rich Nathan and Brian McLaren and encourage you to voice your opinions on the Next-Wave discussion board. [Charlie Wear, publisher]
