Loved the Dorothy Day reference!

Your post reminded me of William Cavanaugh's idea that there is really no transhistorical religion that can be separated from politics. Christian piety, then, is essentially a revolutionary political stance.

Somehow (and I don't believe in coincidence) I am coming into contact more and more frequently with teachings on the importance of the body, and positive bodily activity in the world -- that is, the importance of humans using their God-given agency for the betterment of the world and their neighbours. Somehow (I won't speculate on exactly how in this comment) the subject was woefully neglected in my own Christian upbringing. This was a refreshing read for me, Myles, and you've gained a subscriber.
