The Incarnate Gospel

"I simply argue that the cross be raised again at the center of the market place as well as on the steeple of the church. I am recovering the claim that Jesus was not crucified in a cathedral between two candles, but on a cross between two theives; on the town garbage heap; at a crossroad so cosmopolitan that they had to write his title in Hebrew and in Latin and in Greek... at the kind of place where cynics talk smut, and thieves curse, and soldiers gamble. Because that is where he died. And that is what he died about. And that is where churchmen ought to be, and what churchmen should be about."

-George MacLeod

Not sure where I got this quote from but I wrote it in the front of my Bible in a Hotel in Topeka at 1:00 in the morning on 2-28-98. Just thought I would share it.
