Subtitled: 'A Minister's Manifesto for Taking Back Your Faith, Your
Flag, Your Future', by Robin Meyers, Wiley, 2006.
The cover blurb sums it up well: 'I join the ranks of those who are
angry, because I have watched as the faith I love has been taken over by
fundamentalists who claim to speak for Jesus but whose actions are
anything but Christian.'
Robin Meyers is a United Church of Christ minister, a contributor to The
Christian Century, and 'professor of rhetoric' at Oklahoma City
University.
In 2004 he gave a speech at a University of Oklahoma peace rally from
which he achieved widespread Internet fame. (You can find the speech by
putting the relevant words into Google - or the John Mark Ministries
website indexes). It ended with these stirring words: 'Time to march
again my friends. Time to commit acts of civil disobedience. Time to
sing, and to pray, and refuse to participate in the madness. My
generation finally stopped a tragic war. You can too!'
