Dear friends:

Messianic Jewish leader, educator and scholar Dr. Michael Brown has written a powerful 5,000-word document titled, "The Jesus Manifesto: A Call to Revolution." It is available at http://www.icnministries.org/resources/manifesto.htm

Excerpt:

On April 12, 2000, at Pearl River Central High School in Carrierre, Mississippi, the Spirit of God fell upon the students attending a voluntary, pre-class assembly led by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. As students lined up fifty deep to confess their sins and get right with God and one another, the principal, Lolita Lee, herself a Christian, decided to let the meeting go on through the day. Civil libertarians were outraged, but, as Time magazine reported (June 5, 2000, p. 61), "The school received hundreds of congratulatory e-mails. ‘Thank you for your courage,’ wrote an Ohio man to Lee. ‘You have done the equivalent of not moving to the back of the bus.’” Isn’t it time we follow suit? If not now, when? What more needs to happen?"

(Dr. Brown is calling for a spiritual revolution, not one with guns and bombs.)
