The Hsu’s Views

Krista Tippett writes about the new monastics and people like Shane Claiborne. You should read the article which describes the politics of this “gathering movement of young people known as the “new monastics.”

More importantly, you should listen to the podcast of her interview with Claiborne. Well worth the effort to hear his journey, and how his political views aren’t Right or Left. I appreciate the posture he takes.

Here is a page on The New Monastics including links to some of Shane’s writing, some music, and other resources.

You HAVE to read Claiborne’s article, “Downward Mobility in an Upscale World.”
