Robert Minto writes:
CPJ’s potential could be maximized by working to become a viable political alternative at two levels: theoretical and practical. What politically-minded and -disatisfied Christian need is alternative political theories and alternative political policies to advocate. To waste itself by focusing exclusively on either of these things would result in a movement without a mission or in a mission without a movement. Currently, if I were to be audacious and upstartish enough to critique something that I am only recently familiar with, I would suspect that they err in the direction of offering theoretical alternatives without practical ones, a mission without a movement—but what do I know.
Nonetheless, going off my supposition, it occurs to me that a grassroots (cliche, but powerful) model of development at both a theoretical but also and especially a practical level would be catalytic to the formation of a movement from CPJ’s very admirable mission.
