About Me
My blog posts give my take on the current issues in politics and
the 2008 election and how they are intertwined with my views as a
liberal Christian. The title is a phrase meaning "friend to tax
collectors and sinners" taken out of Luke 7:34 in the Latin Vulgate
translation of the Bible. It serves me as a reminder that Christians are called to love everyone, not just people who look like us or agree
with us. Feel free to post responses.
