Slavery Alive and Well - Christians Too Lazy to Help
Here's a good article from Christianity Today chatting about the slave trade that operates wordwide (particularly in Europe where authorities are playing a loosing battle against organized crime.)
It's a tenuous subject, especially when you deal with federal immigration laws (protecting your own citizens.) But the saddest part of this article was this paragraph 3/4 way down:
"In late 2003, the Smiths returned to their Birmingham, Alabama, home. They shared their story with supporting churches. Many churchgoers refused to listen. One church rescinded its speaking invitation after complaints the subject was too distressing. The Smiths politely left. The church slashed their support."
I don't know the situation, I don't know the context, I won't judge. But the church that couldn't 'stomach' the ministry of helping child-prostitution are a disgrace to Christianity. Can anybody sniff out the name of that church, let's promote their despicable ways.
