"We must attack the materialism of our culture and the maldistribution of the nation’s wealth and services. We recognize that as a nation we play a crucial role in the imbalance and injustice of international trade and development. Before God and a billion hungry neighbors, we must rethink our values regarding our present standard of living and promote more just acquisition and distribution of the world’s resources." [From: Social Action - A Christian Mandate by John Bower http://www.directionjournal.org/article/?257]Seriously convicting. Further evidence of the shattered world that we live in... In this country we drop thousands on I-pods and silicon parts, while billions in the world have nothing. What good is a thousand songs in your pocket, if you cant afford jeans?
