Jesus's high appreciation of poverty and his concept that wealth is a religious danger can be recognized as being Essene in Ecumenical Fraternityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01720016360868773226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1723523983380580058.post-78096804823228340382010-08-30T11:21:00.002+03:002010-08-30T11:24:47.011+03:00KairosThe Palestinian Kairos Document:
