of course I accept pierced bodies...

I confess I couldn't think of a perfect title so I picked one of my favorite lines from an interview between George Strombolopolous and Tony Campolo (http://www.cbc.ca/thehour/video.php?id=1401). I have another confession, while I had heard of Tony Campolo, I didn't really know who he was before the interview, honestly if Jocelyn hadn't blogged about it, I wouldn't have known and I would have cringed my way through the entire thing hoping not to hear the standard lines. Maybe after watching it, some of you will be cringing....I however wasn't.

I would love to blog all sorts of things, or comment on the wide range on comments on his views, and yet I think that defeats the whole purpose. So watch, listen and take from it as you will. Then if you are interested in my opinion find my blog and read it. I would like to add to the title, as far as I'm aware He also takes broken, and scared ones too, just in case you were wondering...

As an aside, March 31st addition of the Vancouver Sun, had an interesting article title, "Blowing Open the Cliches of Evangelical Christians - featuring Geez Magazine - http://www.geezmagazine.org/. It may be of interest to some of you
