The student teaches

The day following the joint ecumenical statement by religious leaders cited in the previous post, an op-ed piece in The Amherst Student weekly newspaper coincidentally agreed. The writer, Jacob Maguire '07, concludes,

"Ultimately, the world of Christian politics will never reflect Christ himself until it takes up his mantle of justice and provides for the 'least of these.' In the meantime, Christ’s words to the Pharisees echo eerily in the distance. 'This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me' (Matthew 7:6)."

More, Jacob, more.
