Radicals makes perfect sense is what the people who are trying to do things differently are, right? That sounds right, breaking with tradition and stuff; that's what I and my Menno friends do. We're smoking drinking sex-having Mennonites. But that's only radical within the limited context of the Anabaptist mindset, right? (The traditional nature of breaking with anabaptist tradition could be its own decent topic for the blog.) But that context is a radical difference from a prevailing worldview as well, so it works out pretty well. Anyway, that's my two cents, since Katie said she'd like to hear from the lurkers.
