Shane Claiborne: A Revolution of Love

 A Revolution of Love

Peacemaking doesn't mean passivity.
It is the act of interrupting injustice
without mirroring injustice,
the act of disarming evil
without destroying the evildoer,
the act of finding a third way
that is neither fight nor flight
but the careful arduous pursuit
of reconciliation and justice.
It is about a revolution of love that is
 big enough to set  both the oppressed 
and the oppressors free.

Shane Claiborne
From Common Prayer: A Liturgy 
for Ordinary Radicals
