Yes, That's What We Need: More Religion



The greatest social need in the world today is not HIV/AIDS outreach. It's not hunger. It's not global warming. Not ending poverty or eliminating malaria or tuberculosis. Not clean water. Not racial reconciliation. Not sexual trafficking. Not abortion. And it's not peace in the Middle East, and not even world peace.


. . .

the most profound social problem facing humankind . . . is alienation from God.



I really must stop reading. It only gets me angry.

John Green is the founder of Emmaus Ministries in Chicago, an outreach to male prostitutes.

That came as some surprise.

Good spot, J.J. There seem to be quite a few John Greens out there involved in conservative religious organizations of one sort or another. I often get mistaken for them.

So that's what "warm fellowship" means.
