A batch of the best highlights from what Todd's read, .
It is deeply disturbing that so many Christians think that racial reconciliation is some kind of liberal, politically motivated social agenda that has nothing to do with their faith as followers of Jesus Christ. It is also an indictment on the church that so many Christians are discipled and don’t know that the gospel includes reconciliation across racial, gender, ethnic, social, and cultural barriers. Discipleship is an invitation to follow Jesus into a new community. We are called to make disciples who create corporate, social change as a part of a new community that loves the Lord with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength, and loves our neighbor as ourselves. Unfortunately, since so many Christians have not heard this message, there is an urgent need for rediscipling in the Christian community.

The problem of how to determine the optimal distribution of work and resources to create high levels of economic growth is simply not the same problem we are now facing: i.e., how to deal with increasing technological productivity, decreasing real demand for labor, and the effective management of care work, without also destroying the Earth. This demands a different science.
