Yes, Christianity has done a lot of harm, and yet, in the margins and abandoned places of the American empire, there
lives a revolutionary Christianity--one with a quiet disposition that seeks to do “small things with great love,”
and in so doing is breaking 21st Century stereotypes surrounding this 2000 year old faith. “The Ordinary Radicals”
is set against the modern American political and social backdrop and suggests a whole new way of living. Sharing a relevant
outlook for people with all faith perspectives, director Jamie Moffett examines this growing movement.
As Shane
Claiborne and Chris Haw write, “This is not a set of political suggestions for the world; this is about invoking and
embodying the alternative. All of this is an invitation to join a peculiar people- those with no king but God, who practice
jubilee economics and make the world new. This is not the old-time religion of going to heaven; this is about bringing heaven
to the world.”
