"The road to union with God is not a one-way street ending solely with God; on the return journey it leads back to one's neighbor,the stranger,one's enemy,and toward all creation.He who unites himself to God undertakes to consider how he should unite himself to all and takes no rest until that union has been accomplished.This road that leads to God and from Him is found within man."(from The Communion of Love by Matthew the Poor).Engaged Christianity is about the person who proclaims that he has a relationship with Jesus and shows this is so by the way he lives,talks and treats other people.By their fruit you will know them.

Br Dave,
It seems to me that way to often we find "Sunday Christians" in our journey to finding the proper Path. Most of these folks are quick with a handshake and smile on Sunday, but offer nothing at all the rest of the week.
In contrast, I have been fortunate to have a friend, Claude, who is a Christian model all the time. Claude will smile and shake your hand on Sunday, but he'll also drive across the county at 10pm to go to the all night drug store for you. His actions and words make for a better place and I hope I can follow his lead in my daily life.
Edward
