“Violent revolution fails because it is not revolutionary enough.
It changes the rulers but not the rules,
the ends but not the means. Most of the old androcratic values
and delusional assumptions remain intact.”


―  Walter Wink, theologian

Tomorrow marks the birthday
of the late theologian Walter Wink (1935-2012)
