In his book Blue Like Jazz Don Miller tells the delightful story of how
he and his friends dressed like monks and set up a confessional booth on
their notoriously heathen college campus. But instead of hearing other
people's confessions, they were confessing their sins as Christians and
the sins of Christendom to anyone who was willing to listen and forgive.
I think the world would be willing to listen to a church on its knees, a
church that doesn't pretend to be perfect or to have all the answers. I
think a mystical, sacramental healing can begin within us and extend
into the wounds of our world...
Shane Claiborne, Irresistible Revolution, p. 251.
