The vocation to protest

at Greenbelt 2008: Rising Sun

John Bell

In an era of soft-soap spirituality where some Christians are looking for palliative care, it’s maybe time to look at a more radical expectation of God, in the company of John Lennon, the Dixie Chicks and others.

John Bell was born within smelling distance of Johnny Walker's distillery in Kilmarnock and presently lives within smelling distance of Tenant's Brewery in Glasgow.

Despite that, he leads an abstemious life, emulating St. Augustine and St. Francis in his affection for car-driving, mobile phones and spam. The Iona Community employs him as a vagrant.
