CITY OF GOD APPEAL - DAY 30

Today's update includes comments from jimB in response to a post at OCICBW about "INNOCENTS IN AN UNHOLY WORLD":

In the time it takes the average Episcopal sermon to get to its hearers, call it ten - twelve minutes, worldwide, over 200 children die of preventable causes traced to water born disease or or water scarcity issues. Just water and our negligence dose that. Then we get to abuse, starvation, industrial accidents, and the toll rises.

The same people who shout about abortions are strangely quiet about what happens to kids once born. Where indeed is the outrage as the children suffer and die?

The child labor situation just appalls me. We are part of a conspiracy that puts our prices ahead of their lives.

It is time to ignore the Southern Cone heads and raise some serious hell about this in the public view. We shall always have the poor and the stupid with us, but we can do something about the poor. If nothing less, we can make poverty more bearable.

FWIW

And our current total is not much changed:
