The question that Jessi asks about whether or not our economic prosperity, and the subsequent deepening of other nations poverty is an important question. I think that it would be a good thing for one of us to look at. It would seem to me that there is a connection, it would be interesting to know if our consumeristic society is part of what leads other people to have an inroad when recruiting people to commit acts of terrorism, or maybe even war.

To Lea I enjoyed reading your blog tonight it seems as though you really want us Christians to do something in this world. It may sound odd, and this is just a question, but do we need to respond to the hurts of the world by doing what the world thinks is best or by what Christ already says is best (example in the case of war the world says that at times it is needed, but Christ seems to be saying no not in my Kingdom). Just a thought, disregard if you have already answered the question.
