Affirmation of faith, as I listen to the powerful witness of those whose soul cries and wails out...

I believe in a practical God, a God of priorities, a God of justice, a God of grace, an awesome God, a God that marches, a God of protests, a God that shuns the powerful, and lives among the "powerless", and that recognizes the value and dignity of ALL, a God that created all colors, all sexes, all nations, all peoples... a God that chooses siblinghood and kin-dom every time a God that does not create racism, unworthiness, poverty or oppression, because God's intention and proclamation when God created the world is that everything... and everyone... is GOOD!
