promised land...

Have you seen it? The cross or the fish (ichthys) sticker on one side of the car or truck bumper and the flag sticker on the other? Even worse, the cross and the flag somehow made into one image?

When will we learn?


America is not the Christian promised land. Our promised land (the Kingdom of God) doesn't have geographical or cultural or ethnic boundaries.


"...with your blood you have redeemed for God, from every family, language, people, and nation, a kingdom of priests to serve our God."

(A Song to the Lamb, Dignus es--Revelation 4:11; 5:9-10, 13)

Our naughty AMiA parish worships in a building owned by a Campbellite congregation. I appreciate their kind hospitality. Just the same, every Sunday afternoon before Mass, I quietly remove their American and Christian flags from the worship space as a vest.

I have heard about at least one parish where the priest sent the flags to the cleaners and somehow they got "lost."

I am of course in no way condoning such behavior...
