i'm very glad you brought that up right away tish, because i think people sometimes need a permission structure to not to pray for justice. I didn't rejoice over som binladon duff, and i wasn't in a rack, and i didn't see kids get exploded. It is because we actually trust that god will take vengeance, that god himself will judge the powerful that oppress the weak. That god will judge hearts and well, im show mercy, but we'll also enact justice.
David and Curtis talk to Tish Harrison Warren, an author, Anglican priest, and writer for The New York Times. Their conversation about prayer gets very real, as they first talk about prayer in wartime. Then they move back to the American cultural struggles, and discuss the disturbing tendency to compare peace to war and the toxic effect on our lives and hearts.
