About half of the September group had been able to read some or all of Jesus for President, so we spent some time reviewing the themes that had resonated with us. We talked about the Israelite nation rejecting God as their King and the way the Empire merged with the church after the time of Constantine; and we explored parallels in our contemporary world.
As Steve predicted, we needed more than one meeting for this topic, so next time Al will help us explore whether it is too late to redeem Sunday mornings in institutional churches, and J.D. will lead us into a discussion about the question: "when is it appropriate to resist the Empire?"
If you can get a copy of the book, great, but don't let that keep you away from our discussion - hope to see you in October.

Jesus for President - September 25
Just in time for the elections, we will discuss Jesus for President by Shane Claiborne at our meeting on September 25. Grab a copy of the book and enjoy some post-political convention reading. See you at 7:00 PM at It's a Grind, 4152 W. Spring Creek Pkwy in Plano.
