Keep preaching! I see this as fact as well. There is no doubt you are right on the money, here. I hate it as much as you do. I am not a very religious person. I spent that money and time already. It served me as well as didn't. My heart for the spiritual life, however, is constant.

Profit is everything. Money makes the world go round, to be sure. It makes me sad, but it is truth.

This article was definintly not preaching the virtue of the Church. I think you know that. I was hoping to relay the message of hope and the good heart of just one person inside that corrupt institution. People do matter. I know that. That one man can influence people in his congregation to use their hearts to serve and help. And that is what I was glad to see.

There is so much anger against churches nowadays and there is every reason to be here. Coming to terms with the reality of the past and present traumas created by these man made institutions is no small feat.

Thanks again for your thoughts!
