An agenda of feeding the needy? No, I don't thing that a churches agenda is to "target" the needy, because they are vulnerable, somehow tricking them into a life of faith and service to God. MWAHAHAHA!!! You are kidding right?
Not exactly where I thought this thread would go..but hey...it's interesting.
My point is this, it seems that many have done their home work on the genocide, and selfish works peice. Though, the Nazi regime, I don't think that was a religious body. Most people stop there, and never look into any good works accomplished or on what scale, and to what effect.
A small example: The International Council of Voluntary Agencies, based in Switzerland. There are 70 major charter members, commonly refered to around the world as Non Government Agencies. These 70 are among the largest NGO's operating in the world today. 22 of which are in thier title or openly affiliated or backed by religios bodies of varying faiths. Billions of private dollars poor into the third world through these agencies. India, Australia, Muslims, Christian, European...all trying to offset the huge amounts of misery in the world. It's a good thing.
