Speak the truth in love. Eph 4:15
I don't know, maybe it's me, but whenever I read something like this:
Bishop Marc Handley Andrus of the Episcopal Diocese of California was arrested December 7 for blocking the front door of the San Francisco federal building to protest the deaths caused by the Iraq war.
His participation in the protest and his arrest are "just one piece of a sustained effort" to work for peace, Andrus told ENS December 8.Andrus said that his protest sprang not just from his own convictions about the war but "from a base of considered opinion by the House of Bishops and the Episcopal Church about this war."
"It’s not a capricious act, but it is my conviction that while there’s widespread opposition to this war, that the elected leaders need to know that we continue to want concerted and active moves towards peace," he said.
Andrus, carrying his crozier and singing "Down by the Riverside,’’ was among 250 protesters, including members of the Episcopal Peace Fellowship and people of other faiths, who had marched from Grace Cathedral, on Nob Hill, to join the weekly "die-in" at on Golden Gate Avenue near City Hall.
The bishop celebrated a requiem Holy Eucharist at the plaza in front of the building. After participants received communion they went one by one to lie down in front of the federal building’s two main doors. Andrus was the first protestor to do so. Federal Protective Service officers began arresting protesters for lying down and blocking the building’s two main doors.
I immediately think of this:
Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward(Matthew 6:1-2).
