An Easter Message - from Bono

Jumping from Stewart Cutler's blog, I found a link to an Easter message published in the New York Times by Bono, it is well worth reading.

I find it challenging to see how seamlessly Bono has moved from thoughts on Christian festivals, Carnivals, and the celebration of Easter to care for the poor and most needy in our world.

How many, or how few, of our Easter services got anywhere near such a plea for justice, compassion, mercy - and if these are not at the heart of the resurrection and the new life of the God's Kingdom, I'm not sure what is.
