Alana,
Very glad to have you join us here on the forums. I appreciate your desire to encourage the church to talk about social justice issues. Somehow that seems to have been forgotten by a lot of Christianity. I guess it was the same in the time of Jesus. The pharisees against whom Jesus so strongly preaches had lost the whole idea loving each other and caring for those less fortunate. Jesus, however, continually worked with those who had been marginalized by society.
And isn't For the Bible Tells Me So a fantastically well done documentary. It should be required viewing in all Christian churches.
Tu Amigo, Pablo
