Shane Claiborne in DC

This is a copy of an email a friend of Emergent sent out about Shane's visit to DC. Hope you can make it.
_________________________________________________________

Shane Claiborne (author of the Irresistible Revolution) and Chris Haw’s new book “Jesus for President” just came out. It’s a book that insightfully seeks to grapple with the question, “How do we navigate our allegiance to state and our allegiance to Christ, especially when they come into conflict?”

I am on the coordinating team that is bringing the authors and some of their colleagues to DC to talk about the book and the topic. I hope you can come and will spread the word to your communities (publicity materials are available at http://www.jesusforpresidentindc.org/publicity)!

Friday, June 27 at 7PM Calvary Baptist (755 8th St NW, Washington, DC) Tickets are free, but you need to register at http://www.JesusforPresidentinDC.org.

Have no idea who Shane Claiborne is? You should definitely pick up a copy of Irresistible Revolution. I’ve personally given away over 200 copies of it. Check out the Jesus for President book reviews on the site as well http://www.JesusforPresidentinDC.org.

Please plan to come and don’t forget to spread the word to your friends. It’s going to be a great night!
