After my last letter, a CAC staff member pointed out to me that I tend to apply this paradigm in one of two ways.</span></p><p class="size-15" style="Margin-top: 20px;Margin-bottom: 0;font-family: avenir,sans-serif;font-size: 15px;line-height: 23px;" lang="x-size-15"><span class="font-avenir">In the first case, I try to show Americans (and other nationalities by association) how to spiritually thrive amid the DISORDER of Empire and the Imperial Church, a version of Christianity that has allowed itself to be co-opted and distorted by the illusions of “Empire.” Regardless of whether you are Orthodox, Catholic, or Protestant, this is what most of us were handed—largely without knowing what we
were being given. Consider: the wholesale toleration and support of the enslavement of human beings, the Doctrine of Discovery that allowed us to colonize and oppress indigenous peoples, the deep Disorder of two World Wars and the Holocaust, the perpetuation of Jim Crow and white supremacy by major cultures of denial. Only in hindsight, as we are able to chart the arc of history and recognize the depth of our blindness, do the consequences of this co-option become so humiliatingly apparent.</span></p><p class="size-15" style="Margin-top: 20px;Margin-bottom: 0;font-family: avenir,sans-serif;font-size: 15px;line-height: 23px;" lang="x-size-15"><span class="font-avenir">In the second case, I use this paradigm to encourage and guide <em>those who are ready</em> to move out of Disorder and into REORDER. In my various books and meditations, I often refer to this as the Second Half of Life, or
Resurrection, Recovery, Salvation, the Nonviolent Life, the Third Way, or just Enlightenment. I’m afraid this group has always been a minority in every age, as conservatives tend to hide in a presumed perfect Order and progressives often get lost in a perpetual Disorder that lacks any Center. To use Jesus’ metaphor, when one blind person tries to lead another, they both fall into the pit (Matthew 15:14). I am not saying all people were lost for the last 2000 years—not at all; but, I am saying we have failed to reveal to the world more than a pittance of the great Good News that is the Gospel. They will surely be able to accuse me of the same 2000 years hence. God always fills in the gaps by grace and mercy and this will never change. There seems to be no utopian age.</span></p><p class="size-15" style="Margin-top: 20px;Margin-bottom: 0;font-family:
