Empire America

Not all prophets have long white beards, wear sandals, and live in the desert . . . or even the Middle East.

Barbara Wendland is a housewife who went to seminary and writes the most prophetic commentaries on religion and the church, which carries her into seeing things most of us are too busy to see or think about.

You can find her observations at www.connectionsonline.org.

You should find her observations! This time, she is looking at American imperialism in the second of a three part series. Her observations about how empire operates should shake even our most conservative people.

It won't because, as she says, Empire suffuses the air we breathe and we just assume it is God's wish for us.

Her next observation will be about how Jesus and Paul resisted imperialism.

This prophet wears a dress and lives in Temple, Texas.
