From Bishop Spong’s book A New Christianity for a New World.
Let your enemies love you

Writer. In the summers, I live and work in the incredible state of Alaska, in the bush community of McCarthy, as the Executive Director of the Wrangell Mountain Center. When not in McCarthy, you'll typically find me in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California, writing and working with local activists. My primary writing project right now is a novel set in remote bush Alaska, of the magical realism genre wherein an earnest and independent young woman finds a mysterious radio belonging to her grandmother, a device that has paranormal bandwidth and a disturbing ability to mess with one's mental stability.

Absolutely the hardest part. We can still hold pride that we were good enough to love our enemies, but submitting ourselves in the way it takes for us to embrace being loved by them? Excruciating to our pride.
