“Jesus chooses not to pray for the world because he wants to save the world. The reason we are not to be of the world is so we may be for the world…we are still to “eavesdrop on the world” even as we create a new one, and practice the art of selective engagement and sanctified subversion. We are cultural refugees.”
— ShaneClaiborne, Becoming the Answer to Our Prayers (in reference to Jesus’ prayer in John 17)
