The minute I started reading his stuff, I knew he was a brother from another mother." -- Rob Bell, author of Love Wins, Sex God, and Velvet Elvis."John Shore is a gadfly, calling the Christian Church everywhere to act the way it says it believes about love and justice, which of course makes him an uncomfortable presence in those churches that do not like to be forced to face reality.

Me on The Drew Marshall Show, Jan. 20, 2011
Drew (being he in the picture) asks the tough/goofy questions. I do my best not to sound like a werewolf having a nervous breakdown. Whatever. It seems to work out pretty well. The important thing is, nobody called the police.
