I notice on the Diocese of Kentucky’s website, their new marketing slogan is “Engaging Christ; Embracing the world.”
Shouldn’t we be embracing Christ, and engaging the world?

I think they said what they meant to say…even if they didn’t realize what they were saying
Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.

An example of engaging Christ is Ms Kaeton and Mr McLaren accusing Jesus of being a bigot with the Palestinian/Syro-phonecian woman.
I was travelling last week and noticed that in the airport newsstands Vanity Fair magazine had the same issue with two covers: one showed Farrah Fawcett, the other Michael Jackson. Perhaps the Diocese could just divvy it up – half their literature could say “Embracing Christ, Engaging the World” and half could switch it around. Just like on the newsstands.
The disciples embraced Christ and engaged the world while Pilate engaged Christ and embraced the world.
