No big deal, I know plenty of Christians who do this, even though some of what they do, does not sit easily with their faith. It requires maturity, not the silencing of the religious voice as religious communities do amazing work amongst the poor and marginalized. <br /><br />I was criticized for giving an unmarried couple advice on contraception.... double standards or demonstrating a pragmatic morality?Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01623043065328758574noreply@blogger.com
