Shane Claiborne

Our most recent adventure was driving to Detroit to see Shane Claiborne. It was great to finally meet him. Shane is a prophet for our materialistic, militaristic, plastic society. He preaches simplicity, community and social action, all in the name of Jesus, the leader of our counter-culture that is growing like a mustard seed in the margins of the empire.

This is how he signed my copy of Jesus for President, "Enough donkeys and elephants... Long live the Lamb!"
