Inspirational Christian bloggers

Here are some blogs I've been following:

The Jesuite Institute in South Africa has a blog which several of the Jesuits and Ignatians write for, primarily about current affairs in South Africa. I find their discussions relevant and insightful, giving a thinking Christians response to politics, crime, governance and the like.

On Journeying with those in Exile may be a similar type of blog in the US context. Dan is a follower of Jesus who deeply engages the issues in his world, challenging fellow Christians to respond more thoughtfully and with greater action in our contexts.

I've also really appreciated Steve Hayes blog although his posts are quite long! Writing from an Eastern Orthodox perspective, Steve's well-researched thoughts on South Africa, the Church and our times gives a lot of food for thought.

These blogs give me hope that there are a lot of people that follow Jesus passionately but think deeply about the world around them and engage the world actively and intentionally with a desire to make a difference. They inspire me and make me excited about being part of something really good.
