	Monday, April 17, 2006 Thought for the Week In Scripture, there is no purely spiritual answer to slavery; no purely spiritual answer to the pain of the poor. . . . In times of oppression, if you don't translate choices of faith into political choices, you run the danger of washing your hands, like Pilate. --William Sloane Coffin, the activist minister who was once a firebrand at Yale and who died, alas, last week posted by Swami Uptown @ 4:52 PM \| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- << Swami Uptown Home
