I saw this in Time Magazine at the Doctor’s office yesterday:
The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.’
THE REV. ALEXIA SALVATIERRA, quoting a 2nd century Christian theologian to explain why activist Elvira Arellano’s Aug. 20 deportation to Tijuana would inspire a renewed fight for immigration reform. Arellano had found sanctuary in a Chicago church for a year in defiance of a deportation order
As a Christian, a minister, and a theologian, I have to say: man that pisses me off.
Bonus Arellano quote:
“Like Jesús, Elvira Arellano was a brown-skinned alien who sparked equal parts rage and praise while promoting their movement.”
