Matthew 18 and the Priesthood of all Believers
Luther restored elements of ministry to the laity in the church--hymn singing, pledges by the congregation to aid and assist baptized and confirmed members to grow in faith, and forgive each other sins. Matthew 18 contains a blueprint for church discipline that says more about what the laity does than what the clergy does. I have created a flow chart to illustrate these principles.

Liberal Christian Evangelizing: Exclusivity in God's Kingdom Be Damned
If part and parcel of Christian activism today includes an aggressive evangelical effort then I see liberal Christians empowered to counter the evangelizing of questionable theology and priorities of the Christian Right with an evangelical effort that builds rather than destroys, that seeks peace rather than attempts to justify war, that, like God, encourages awareness of every sparrow that falls - leaving no child, no adult, no family, no culture, no nation or race and no society behind or left out of the "neighbor" whom God says to love.
