Clarence Jordan didn't ring a bell but a quick browse of the wikipedia
entry and I know I've heard of the guy before. Don't know much about
him or his views or anything, but had heard of him in connection with
Koinonia Farms.

Is it correct to assume that God wants that for us? His invitation is to the best way of living. So, then, loving your enemy, is an acceptance of that invitation, an invitation to living better. Hedonism huh? Hmmm, not sure I agree with that label. I'll think more about that. I'm assuming yes, but have you heard of Clarence Jordan? Just did for the first time today. I think I like that guy.
