Unconditional Compassion – the Only Kind that Counts
By Jeremy | January 24, 2005
"Despite the media attention to the tsunami in South Asia, it still barely registers with many people that the country hit hardest happens to be the world’s most populous Islamic nation. Indonesia has lost more than 105,000 people, most of them Muslims. That tragic fact shines a light on a bracing yet neglected possibility: that the charitable tradition of the United States, supremely visible in its Christian relief organizations, could help change the course of Muslim-Christian relations. "Arab television stations such as Al Jezeerah may never admit it, but the truth is that America’s private sector alone almost certainly will offer more help -- in dollars, material assistance and manpower -- than the entire Muslim world combined." From The Reach of Charity, by Joseph Loconte (January 18, 2005)An unprecedented opportunity to demonstrate global compassion, indeed.movie homemade couplesmovies children pornbig movie titspoltergeist moviemovies porn koreantrip the euro moviefree movies preteenmovies cicciolina Map

I’ve heard that from a few sources too, and none of them being the general media…
Such a great opportunity, I’m praying that the Church can really help and really shine.
