Shane Claiborne Receives Gift of Discernment

Over at My Word Like Fire, John Lanagan writes about Shain Claiborne’s appearance at Warner Pacific College in Portland, Oregon:

“…Claiborne had the crowd laughing and reminiscing with him as he recounted past adventures and experiences. During the time he spoke he emphasized again and again our Christian duty to help the poor and the oppressed.

“God is creating a holy counter-culture,” said Claiborne, author of Jesus For President, The Irresistable Revolution, and several others.”

At the end of the session, John approached Shain Claiborne with a gift:

As Shane Claiborne stood outside the auditorium, I said, “Shane, my name is John, and my mission is to give you this book.”

Claiborne is a gracious guy, and he was dog-tired from all the travel and speaking engagements. But he took Castles in the Sand, and said, “Thank you, brother.” He peered intently at the cover.

I told him goodbye, and prayed for him as I drove home.”
