I am the wife of a church of Christ minister. I have 3 beautiful daughters. The people you are describing is nothing like the church I attend. We opened our doors to the red cross during the Katrina disaster, we have a deaf ministry and school where we educate the deaf, we gave money overseas to those in the tsunami, our youth group is spending the summer building homes for those who have lost one in Katrina, I could go on. Unfortunately you have seen some situations where those in the church of Christ did not show compassion. Christ taught us compassion. He also taught us that we should study our bible, take up our cross and follow him. I am sorry you have had bad experiences.
Well said, Emily.
We are praying for the children, the families involved, and all of those immediately affected by this tragedy.
God bless.
