The Whole Life blog is a place to find stories about faith journeys, ponder the thoughts of selected leaders throughout the interfaith community, and explore ideas about how we inspire one another and connect. The name suggests two ways of thinking: That we are ever seeking those things that lift our spirits, help heal us and make our days a little brighter. And that our reach is inclusive, gathering all who are open to good will across cultures, religions and personal philosophies. After all, we are one world, one people. |

Pflegrant Foul?
Michael Jones
May 30, 2008
I believe in speaking truth to power. However, I thought that the New Testament tells Christians to speak the truth in LOVE. I am not going to call Fr. Michael Pfleger’s comments “hate” speech. But I would not categorize his words as truth spoken in love. Jesus won people with His love. Welcoming all who would come to HIm and loving those that would not. Bill Hybels (who pastors in Chicago) said that if you don’t like where your church is, preach it to where you want it to go. If we don’t like what our leaders are doing, lets preach and pray them to where we want them to be. Like my mother used to say, you can catch more bees with honey. No more Pflegrant fouls from the church!
