...Christians have a biblical responsibility to help the poor and ease suffering around the world, according to NCCUSA.

Then they (NCCUSA) should do something themselves instead of taking the apathetic/liberal approach, demanding someone else (the Government) do this for them.

"..that Christians have a biblical responsibility to help the poor and ease suffering around the world,"

Most Christian Churches I know already do this themselves and have been for a long, long time. These guys just talk about it. Interesting that in the entire article I didn't see these guys say a thing about the importance of preaching the Gospel to all these poor, impoverished people around the world. This is the tip off their motivations aren't really Christian but political.
