I hope I
haven’t worried any of my readers with my relative silence. I’ve been so intent on fulfilling my
requirements for a class, including a 25-30 page paper (You’d think I was
writing a Masters thesis instead of completing just one course towards a
Certificate in Anglican Studies!), that I just haven’t had the energy and time
to blog.
But now I am
near the end of this course. And
I’ve been inspired by strong ale (Be warned!), so here goes.
Decades ago, I
decided to stop giving to World Vision.
I was concerned that none of their literature I had read mentioned
actually sharing the Gospel. I was
not well disposed towards sending people to Hell well fed, so I turned towards
other organizations.
Well, it looks
like was too right as I tend to be.
The Gaza office of World Vision has been caught funneling money to Hamas.
Now World
Vision might be the victim here as
much as perp. But if funneling aid
to those in need is given too much priority over propagating the Faith, over
offering eternal life along with temporal sustenance, these things can and will
happen. I doubt Mr. Mohammed
el-Halabi was much committed to the Christian faith, much less proclaiming it. So why was he hired by a "Christian" organization in the first place?
This just goes
to show that I am always right (Ignore my predictions in my previous post
concerning the Day of Rage!), and that you should always read carefully every
word that emanates from my wise fingers.
Or maybe it
just means you should find better ways to help the needy than giving to World
Vision or to any other “Christian” organization that gives little priority to
sharing the Gospel of Christ.
