the 99 collective

Bin Laden’s death is hardly an ending in the larger story of human justice. So, before we dance in the streets, chant national slogans, and bring back the freedom fries, let us consider the path that has brought us here.

Raised in the ELCA, I now lie somewhere between Quaker and Lutheran with little offshoots of admiration for a handful of other faith traditions. I have to say what drew me to the 99 Collective is the same thing that has always impressed me about the Lutheran church. Lutherans feel a strong sense of responsibility to welcome the stranger.
