Radical Christianity

What if, for all of 2010, all Christian churches throughout the world, all television evangelists, all faith healers (real and pretend), limited themselves to only the following message:  "Blessed are you."  The first words of the beatitudes.  Sermons and homilies would be limited to the following words:  "Blessed are you."  No explanation.  No explication.  Just the words:  "Blessed are you."  No judgments, no accusations.  No talk of salvation, or talk of heaven or hell.   No talk of "the true church."  No asking for money.  No selling books, Bibles, prayers, or anything else.  Just the words:  "Blessed are you."  To me, this is radical Christianity.  Just imagine, what if?
