necturusCommunists for Christ.
This article was originally published in 1999, while long time American Communist leader Gus Hall was still alive, and is therefore even more remarkable. There have long been Christian socialists -- my former wife had a book titled Quotations from Chairman Jesus -- but to hear a religious message coming from the once militantly atheist Communist Party USA is quite astounding to those of us who remember the Cold War era.
Seasons greetings to all, whatever color your stripe may be.
