Spencer Burke interviews Shane Claiborne about his thoughts on community and social justice. Throughout the interview Shane is juggling with his friend Joe on the lawn of Princeton. Shane says, “Community is about surrounding ourselves with people who look like the person we want to become. When you surround yourself with folks like that, they rub off on you, and hopefully they move us a little closer to who Jesus is because we can see God’s love lived out in them. And we dare each other to risk a little bit more.dekorasyon”
Shane has just returned from a trip to Sweden and Norway where he spent time with a gathering of Christians from different denominations who are uniting. Shane is impressed by the fact that this Scandinavian movement is led by young people who are promoting the togetherness of the body of Christ. Like Shane, they believe Christians can do more together than divided.

Social justice, beauty and fun go hand-in-hand in Shane’s world. He is drawn to movements not just because of ideology, but because people are sharing something more beautiful that what was there before. Living responsibly and moving social justice forward is not just about protesting, but about “protestifying”—not just speaking against something, but acting and creating something more beautiful.
Personal Reflection:
Am I surrounding myself with people who look like the person I want to become?
How will I “protestify” this week, and carry forward togetherness and the creation of something beautiful where before there was dividedness or only protest?gerdektube
Small Group or Staff Questions:
Where have I seen the beauty and fun of Christ in my community this week?
How can we be serious about the work of the Church and social justice, and at the same time celebrate beauty and fun?

Great clip. I enjoyed the interview. The story about the folks dressing up as vegetables was wonderful, and I love the language of protestifying.
I also liked the discussion on play and theology. If anyone is interested in exploring that topic, there were several books written on the theology of play over the last 40 years. A couple worth mentioning include Jurgen Moltman’s little volume called the Theology of Play. And Edward Hays wrote a delightful book called, “Holy Fools and Mad Hatters: A Handbook for Hobbyhorse Holiness.”

Shane,
Heard you recently at the Emeging Christianity conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico; love the way you describe your faith and the work you are doing in PA.

I enjoyed Shanes reflections as well…
too much emphasis is an overkill…
anyone with a “cause” becomes a danger to himself and other…
(BTW, I come from the side of heratics that Spencer speaks of)

“One think the liberal and conservative church have in common is they don’t know how to have fun.” Way to say it Shane.

Most athletes, especially basketball players, at some time or another wonder how they can jump higher. Both rebounding and slam dunking require you to jump high unless you are very tall.
There are exercises and techniques to strengthen your legs and increase vertical jumping quite a bit. You can add several inches or even feet to your jumping with the right training.
