I came across the following article last week. It has emerged in various places on the web but I think the original publication is in First Things. It is written by Philip Turner, the former Dean of the Berkeley Divinity School at Yale. I particularly like his discussion about how some use the idea of "prophetic witness" to subvert policies that they disagree with. I will have more to say about this topic down the road.
Enjoy.

1 Cor 1:18-19
For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
NRSV
Yes. It is amazing how disillusioning an embrace of the cross can be.
