Social Concern


One cannot be Christian without social concern. 
There is no reason why anyone should go hungry even for a day.
 Since the resources are there, why do millions continue to starve? 
The answer must be greed.

Hell


  • When a child dies of starvation, there is hell.
  • When people groan under the boot of oppression, there is hell.
  • Where there is any injustice, there is hell.

Doesn't this sound like an apt description of far too much of the human condition?
(Mamia Abu-Jamal in Escape Routes by Johann Christoph Arnold, p. 149)
