Someone else "gets it" too

There was an interesting article in the New York Times on Sunday about Reverend Gregory A. Boyd from Woodland Hills Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. In a number of sermons, and a new book, Mr. Boyd has expressed the uncommon view that Christianity is not about obtaining political power in order to force the scriptures on non-believers.

This is one of the major reasons I like Riverwood. While they did do a political series during the last federal election, it was done objectively and focused not on enforcing Christianity through government, but on becoming educated citizens and making intelligent choices. Their main thrust is not political power, but "reaching far from God people... growing people to be fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ."
