A Priest Speaks Truth to Power

"We have the right to redress our government without fear of being arrested" 
 - Rev. Nathan Monk

Just this weekend I heard about Rev. Nathan Monk for the first time, but he's been busy on behalf of the poor for some time already. He's a priest of the "Old Catholic" line and is in the process of being received into the Orthodox Church (neither in communion with Rome). More importantly, he's deeply devoted to justice.  Just check out what happened recently when he was expressing himself at a Pensacola City council meeting.

For more on this priest who speaks truth to power on behalf of the poor:
