Relocation and wealth redistribution. The two key platforms of the Chinese Maoist revolution in 1949. Use the power of the collective to confront injustice. Reform greedy capitalist banks. “Bring arrogant violence to its knees.” The CCDA. Oh yeah. The headline has it right, Not Your Father's Christian Community Development.

It's good to see that, as I'd read it between the lines, CCDA has helped Evangelicals take a deeper look at their theology. In that, perhaps realizing that recent trends such as questioning whether Evangelicals have even comprehended Jesus' Kingdom focus are not necessarily "unbiblical" and ARE fitting with an emphasis toward "the least among" us.
