"We simply argue that the cross be raised
again at the center of the marketplace as well as the steeple of the church. We are recovering the claim that Jesus
was not crucified n a cathedral between two candles, but on a cross between two thieves; on the town garbage heap; at a crossroad
so cosmopolitan that they had to write His title in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek...at the kind of place where cynics talk
smut and thieves curse. and soldiers gamble. Because that is where He died. And that is what He died aout.
And that is where churchmen ought to be, and what churchmen should be about."
