We read about the name Jesus was given at his birth; Immanuel, meaning __od with us_. This God wasn__ content with dwelling in fiction, this God wasn__ content living with the seraphim and this God wasn__ content with bulls and goats anymore. This God wanted to dwell with you, with all of your mess, with all of your failures with all the dirtiness that is you; he wanted to sit with you. Here__ the amazing thing, God doesn__ care if you__e a catholic, a Lutheran, Post modern or Emergent; he wants to sit with you.

Everyone knows history is written by the winners, but that cliche misses a crucial detail: Over time, the winners are always the progressives. Conservatism can only win in the short term, because society cannot stop evolving (and social evolution inevitably dovetails with the agenda of those who see change as an abstract positive). It might take seventy years, but it always happens eventually. Serious historians are, almost without exception, self-styled progressives. Radical views--even the awful ones--improve with age.
