'Civil Society...is Never Enough'
A quote from a speaker at the CRC’s Synod 2005, endorsing the Micah Challenge and the ONE Campaign.
He also intimated that churches could never hope to match the $40 billion pledged recently to cut aid debt for African nations.
Tell that to all the people and companies that gave a record $249 billion to charity in 2004. Religious organizations got the biggest portion of that number $88 billion.
Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think he’s giving the Church enough credit. Why beg for scraps at the government’s table when you could build your own?
