U.S. Capitol Police arrested 115 religious leaders in front of the Cannon House Office Building in Washington, D.C., in December while they knelt on the steps to pray and protest the planned federal budget cuts to social programs that aid the poor. The event was organized by Sojourners and Call to Renewal. “I have lived and worked among the poor for 12-plus years,” Denver-based participant Michelle Warren told Sojourners. “I am an evangelical Christian and we, as evangelicals, need to advocate for the poor. Today was just the beginning.”

People in the ancient world were very careful about how they approached their gods.

To be a contemplative has traditionally meant leaving the city for a quiet life of prayer.

I do not view myself as a contemplative. I’d say that I am a "seeker" of God. This seeking has been a lifelong process.
