I just saw your article in the 12/15/10 issue of the South Seattle Beacon. This was the first I have heard about your fellowship. As a person who has been uninterested in traditional churches for pretty much my whole life, I have to say that I was pretty impressed and even a little excited about what you are doing. Celebrating creativity and working to stop injustice in the world are two of the most divine things that humans can do; I’m pleased to see that you have made this so important to your mission! Keep it up!
Thanks for the encouraging words!
For the curious, here is a link to the article that “beacon hillite” is referring to: http://www.southseattlebeacon.com/main.asp?SectionID=26&SubSectionID=248&ArticleID=28584
John,
You rock! Glad things are going well! I need to come hang you with you!
Peace,
Jud
My Dear Brother-in-Peace John,
I just read your incredible report of how you were beaten and arrested in Seattle recently.
I intend to share it widely to enroll people in following your advice issued on the heels of this unprovoked abuse:
· Listen deeply.
· Get upset.
· Generate Love.
Among the recipients of your repoert will be the Mayor of Seattle, Mike McGinn and some City council members.
You are a sterling template for unconditional Love and I am very sure Jesus would be proud to call you a disciple! You are spreading His message in a very pure form by BEing Peace.
Blessed be
in Love and Light,
Shira Nahari, Everson WA
I have just read your account of the happenings in Seattle…as I prepare to visit the city. I was there in October when the Occupy protest began and spent time with protesters. I am only there two days this time…I will be holding you in prayer and I will be publicizing your report.
God bless you and thankyou for your challenge
