One of the beautiful things about this forum is all the various denominations coming together discussing individual issues in a spirit of brotherly love. So this is the perfect group to brainstorm how churches can better work together to help those in need.
Of course, many churches are already working together in many ways. I’m wondering if there is something more that can be done. I’m thinking about feeding those who are hungry, resolving the homeless problem, assisting those in poverty, helping the elderly with their specific needs, and any number of other issues that could be resolved or at least mediated through a concerted effort.
There are a great many programs run by churches and other organizations designed to address many of these concerns, but it all seems so disjointed and fragmented. Would it not be possible to use today’s amazing technology to connect all of these programs together so as to be more effective? Shouldn’t churches be at the forefront of this kind of effort?
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’” Matthew 25:40 (NIV)
What are your thoughts?
Is something more needed or is everything fine the way it is?
