The City of God: Reflections for Lent 2009
by Joshua Casteel

As Christians, writer and conscientious objector Joshua Casteel asserts, our first and only true allegiance is to the City of God. As we journey through Lent, Casteel invites us to ask how “borderless followers of a crucified peasant might reimagine a City of God. . .” Through Scripture and daily reflections, we remember how to build and live in this City. The City of God is our path to true freedom, to love, to reconciliation, to self-giving, risk, and intimacy with God. This Lent, are we prepared to change our lives to truly become cocreators of the City of God?

"What makes the U.S. Catholic Church 'white' and 'racist' is the pervasive belief that European aesthetics, music, theology, and persons--and these only--are standard, normative, and truly 'Catholic'."
- Rev. Bryan N. Massingale
