Intro to prophetic current quarter

So steeped in our worldview it's hard to imagine a world without it,
and may even feel it immoral to suggest that there is no place for
violence. What about national defence? Personal security? Terrorism?
Crime? Etc. I strongly believe that part of jesus' mission was to live
a life exemplifying nonviolence.

Intro letter for prophetic current quarter

Draft. Dear staff, the last year and a half has been a huge learning
experiment for me, to which i owe a huge debt of gratitude to many
people - not the least, Samantha, my team here in Cambodia, and many
patient human rights workers. Its been a journey of learning how to
deal with evil in it's specific manifestation of violence. A good
friend recently asked me what's my vision for Cambodia? My response
was

Prophetic quarter ideas

Bible passages for reflection. Method? Lectio or other? Have people
think of prophetic issues, esp around violence. Still use themes from
acts, but use bible. Then action options like CSJ. Also include
research options like meeting a community leader or human rights
group, peace building group. Critical thinking on what you're
observing. Etc. As well, extra readings for the ambitious. And links
to web sites and movies, documentaries. Is there time to send DVD of
all stuff to teams?

What passages? The usual, plus unusual? Micah 6 8, luke 4, acts 2,
turn other cheek, walk second mile, loving OTHER - good samaritan, ok,
check some of my writings. Put away your swords, blessed are the
peacemakers. What prayer exercises could be done to be interesting and
unique? Thinking, asking what is prophetic, justice, peace - for whom?
Listen to paul's song if he's ok. Links to website movies. Licadho, al
jazeera, movies - war on democracay, lions for lambs, war inc, jouex
noelle, etc. Film an intro by me?
