The Rev. Mike Angell is rector of The Episcopal Church of the Holy Communion in St. Louis.
God has a stake in what happens in our world. God dreams of a world that is more loving, more generous, more equitable, more just. God is not just the God of the insiders. God hears the cry of the immigrant, of the foreigner, and those who have been red-lined into substandard housing. God invites us to behave differently.
What is True Religion? God has heard the cry of the people. God is coming. Go hope somebody.
Abram's God is not like the other gods. In the church, we’ve put up a lot of little clay men over the centuries and said, “that’s God!” Religion needs a little smashing now and again.
