Three years ago, Kelly and I took a two-week Survey of the Old Testament class. What we didn’t realize before we stepped in to the classroom was that we were headed for a radical transformation of our faith. We both considered ourselves evangelical Christians and had beliefs similar to most American evangelicals.

There were many things we learned during those two weeks with Dr. Richard Pratt, but the one thing that stuck with us the most was how different his view on the final outcome of the world is and therefore our role as citizens of the world.

This video of N.T. Wright’s views seems to jive with what Dr. Pratt said that summer. You’ll have to watch it for yourself.

I ran across a site called The Darfur Wall, a web site that raises money for relief in Darfur, Sudan in a unique way.

400,000 numbers cover the The Darfur Wall, one for each victim of genocide in Darfur. By donating one dollar you can light a number, turning it from dark gray to brilliant white. As we light the wall, we honor each lost life, cast light upon a tragedy too many have ignored, and overcome one barrier to peace.

It’s fast and easy to donate, and 100% of donations benefit four Darfur relief organizations. Please visit The Darfur Wall and light a number for peace.
