My thoughts on the August 2008 Synchroblog on poverty:
Echoes of “liberal” and “social gospel” ring in my ears. I’ve been told by so many evangelicals/fundamentalists that our sole job is to tell people the “Good News” (their version, of course, doesn’t come off sounding so good). Feeding the poor is OK, just don’t let it get in the way of the real deal - asking perfect strangers where they’ll go if they die tonight or giving someone a tract in place of a tip.
