The God we meet in Amos and John demands righteousness, solidarity and justice as the foundations of faithful living. Neutrality scuppers justice. When we drift away from God, our fellow human beings and the life-giving environment, prophetic truth-telling tempered with an imagination for a different world becomes a necessity.

We must learn to subvert the economic model of our rulers by reconnecting with older models based on reciprocity, hospitality, and love.
