Remembering Lives & Challenging War: Shane Claiborne

Shane issues a raw plea to protect hope through resilient faith and community. Drawing a direct line from the 1991 Al-Amiriyah shelter bombing to recent strikes on a primary school in Tehran, he discusses the devastating human cost of U.S.-backed violence and reads the names of over 60 children lost to the machinery of war.
He challenges the "apocalyptic theologies" that justify mass death, and calls for a Christianity rooted in the radical nonviolence of Jesus.
