What has struck me about El Mozote is that the villagers had been told that because they were evangelicals generally perceived as apolitical,and not liberation theology inspired "subversivos" they would be spared.That they were massacred anyway is a stark reminder that apolitical piety isn't protection from the principalities & powers

It's a political fact now that faith communities across the board, very widely, are in favor of increasing the minimum wage. Why is that? What's the theological foundation behind that? We don't just do politics; we do politics because of our faith.
