This quote is from a speaker who has often strut his stuff at Greenbelt, last time last year. He is an inner city dweller, gets marks from on that one, and also a Sociplogist (I love you guys) and a faith man, disciple. And I like it:-

"I find it strange that the last place I can really quote Jesus these days is in American churches. They don't want to hear 'overcome evil with good.' They don't want to hear 'those who live by the sword die by the sword.' They don't want to hear 'if your enemy hurts you, do good, feed, clothe, minister to him.' They don't want to hear 'blessed are the merciful.' They don't want to hear 'love your enemies.'"

Tony Campolo, quoted in Christian Week magazine
