I've Struck a Nerve!

 Mahatma Gandhi,  who challenges us t be te change we want to see, also said: 

“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, 

then they fight you, then you win.”

 

I am proudly at phase THREE of four!  Hallelujah! 

 

David Brown of the SALT LAKE CITY (!) CHRISTIAN EXAMINER takes umbrance at my article, "Prophecy, Proselytizing and Profit: Adopting Christian Soldiers" in Conducive.

Brown's counter-piece is aptly entitled: "Adoptive Christian parents, church politics and child laundering." Thank you, David. Could not have said it better myself! And I doubt David Smolin minds the reference to is fine research onthe subject of child laundering.

Brown will have to write a duplicate column in a similar attempt to refute the words of Kathryn Joyce, author of Quivetfull, who has written: "The Evangelical Adoption Campaign" ...

And, yet another to explain how the act of the Idaho missionaries in Haiti is anything BUT Christianity gone to extremes to obtain children through adoption!  Ah, the "good" deeds accomplished in the name of religious zealousness....enough to fill all the history books in the world...

Brown and others who want to defend such acts of extremism to the point of law breaking - never mind immorality and decency -  have their jobs cut out for them.
