Darfur Con't
Posted by tom | Jun 2, 2005More can be found on Darfur at the NY Times
and Village Voice, thanks for the link Jon!
Our Wednesday discussion group wrestled w/the question as to whether American Evangelicals are paying more attention to Darfur b/c those dying are said to be Christians. Whether or not those dying are followers of Christ, what Jesus would do is clear, extend His grace and care in this broken part of the world. We are His Body and are to do such, not just in Darfur but in all places of need, whether in our family, neighborhood, community of faith, or in the various other parts of the world torn by the ravages of sin & conflict. Such is our call as the ears, eyes, and hands of God in the world today. May we be a part of a rapid response team which offers help, hope, healing, and redeeming influence, even this very day.
Another group (if broad stereotypes can be made based on one co-worker) that is interested in this is the anti-Bush crowd.
Posted by jondaley, Jun 3 2005, 10:17We get political propaganda posted in our R&D meeting area, primarily put there by the VP, but I (and I think others) contribute occasionally. Recently, there have been a number of articles on Darfur, and 140 days of silence (the number of days since Bush mentioned it publicly).
