| Self-preservation is woven into the very fabric of our North
American culture. From national defense policy to the constitutional
right of the individual to bear arms, society assumes that everyone has
the right, even the obligation, to protect themselves and
their loved ones from harm. Caught up in the contest of the dominant
culture we are seduced into rationalizing that God must bless self-
preservation. Examining key Biblical texts and the model of Jesus
will guide us to the faith understanding that Christ's way of peace
challenges the assumption of protection of the self. This allows us to
proclaim that when we, as people of faith, are threatened with death,
we are really threatened with resurrection. Copyright 2002. | |
