Return the Cross to Golgotha
"I simply argue that the cross be raised again at the center of the market place
as well as on the steeple of the church, I am recovering the claim that Jesus
was not crucified in a cathedral between two candles, but on a cross between
two thieves; on a town garbage heap; at a crossroad of politics so cosmopolitan
that they had to write His title in Hebrew and in Latin and in Greek ... and at
the kind of place where cynics talk smut, and thieves curse and soldiers
gamble. Because that is where He died, and that is what He died about. And
that is where Christ's [followers] ought to be, and what church people ought to
be about."
