There’s a great conversation going on over at Scot McKnight’s Jesus Creed about the Scot’s post stems from a very intriguing article in the New York Times about Greg Boyd’s church in St. Paul and Randall Balmer’s new book Thy Kingdom Come, An Evangelical's Lament: How the Religious Right Distorts the Faith and Threatens America.- What should be the local church’s relationship with politics?
- How should we navigate the tricky waters of trying to be a prophetic voice for Jesus’ Kingdom in our society and not tying ourselves into the power-plays of politics?
- Should we try to separate the kingdom of God from the kingdoms of this world, or should the kingdom of God somehow influence the kingdoms of this world?

Ghost Dancer,
Good comment. There indeed needs to be a plurality of views in a healthy society and a healthy church!!
