Because it's Easter Monday.

This is slightly dated but I've been wanting to put it up here for a while. Sorting through some papers I found it.

I SIMPLY ARGUE THAT
THE CROSS BE RAISED
AGAIN AT THE CENTRE
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 THE TOWN GARBAGE HEAP; AT A CROSSROADS SO
COSMOPOLITAN THAT THEY HAD TO WRITE HIS TITLE IN HEBREW AND
IN LATIN AND IN GREEK (OR SHALL WE SAY IN ENGLISH, IN BANTU
AND IN AFRIKAANS?); 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
CHURCHMEN SHOULD
BE AND WHAT
CHURCHMANSHIP
SHOULD BE ABOUT
