God is not elsewhere



You might consider visiting Gareth Higgins blog at this link;

Always thought provoking and insightful. His most recent entry raises much needed questions about "rendition" which flow from the recent film of the same name.

Having viewed it, I am troubled and challenged by the issues it raises and its depiction of the everyday practice which the American Government advocates and endorses and UK Government seems to allow to go largely unchallenged. Gareths thoughts are:

"Some thoughts on the practice of extraordinary rendition - The fact that we know such practices are employed in our name should have been enough of a wake up call – but as yet, the groaning near-silence of free people whose leaders exercise injustice on our behalf continues. Are we prepared to do more than go to meetings, or to pray, or to write blog posts about what is happening in our world? What will a non-violent Reformation require of us? - if you want to read more of my thoughts on this, check out the God's Politics blog..."
