Rev. John Edgerton
I'm a Christian, a progressive, a pastor, and a community organizer. I became a Christian because I need a God who loves me more than I deserve. I am a progressive because I refuse to behave as if my life is worth more than yours. I am a pastor at Old South Church in Boston because I want my work to make a difference in the world. I work as an organizer because the church has to be savvy and tough to go up against the powers that be.
"What evil desires most is silence, to be given peace and quiet while tearing people’s lives apart like tissue paper. We cannot be silent in the face of evil. We must be fearless and creative in revealing evil for what it is and calling it by its name." Handbook for the Resistance
