He’s asking for prayers and donations for the people, right?

Tonight at our church we're having a canned goods/blood drive and a prayer service for the Haitians. I assure you no one is going to try to explain Haiti's plight with voodoo/Satanism.

Blessings!

Good people do good work despite the beliefs of the people in need, and particularly in spite of the beliefs "attributed" to the people in need.

Apparently, the Arch bishop's body has been located, because he has been reported as "dead," so he is not there to offer his services to his flock.

I don't want to start any arguments here, but I have been there and a good deal of the voo-doo was tourist orientated. Yes, it exists and there are sacrifices and blood letting that are founded in ignorant cultures, but Haiti's poverty is rooted in corruption and Communism. They are a decidedly ignorant and illiterate people.

Again, God bless you and your Church.
