Comments on: Toward a Missional Economy, Part 1 http://jasoncoker.net/scripture/toward-a-missional-economy-part-1 Welcome. I'm a husband, a father, an interactive media professional, an ordained minister, and a postmodern pilgrim. You can check out some of the projects I'm involved with below. In this space I mostly write about the intersections of Christianity and culture.

I don't think Jesus or Paul were about the kind of "charity" that comes to mind when we think of that word, although I wholeheartedly agree they were about love and justice. Socialism and Communism are both about justice, they just miss the mark...often in pretty spectacular ways - but then, so does Democracy and Capitalism. In some parts of the world it would be unthinkable to be a Christian and NOT be a socialist, and Communism began as an attempt to live out the justice of Christianity in a tangible way..that is, before Marx joined up. My point is simply that we're highly biased by our own cultural prejudices. Julie – Very level headed comments!
