...happened well after students had quieted down; worse, the success of some of the more immediate causes of the sixties and the demise of some of the more obvious villians only made it clear, to those who still cared, how little immediate causes and obvious villians are at the root of what is wrong. The United States government still allies itself with murderers and exploiters, and vast inequities persist, and larger systems still manipulate peoples' lives. None of what has happened--the NLF's victory, or Nixon's resignation, or reforms in the CIA--seem to have much...

The logic of their position leads them to break down the exclusive nature of the church and its right to decide who can be a member. Possibly quotas should be applied to church membership...
...rights and human actions, but a humble submission to God and his word. From there the church can be reconstructed in our technological age and confront it with a powerful gospel that is radically different from the cant of our modern times.
