I beg to differ with you. In fact, you must be kidding when you use a vulgar term to discribe the "religious right" 's response to Katrina..

Our church, well over 1,500 miles away has had a continuous team of members down there, helping to clean up and rebuild. A member of my family just returned after volunteering his whole summer down there. We have a special fund in our offering for helping the Katrina victims. We are working with a local, sister church in that area -- through proper channels. In our city, other churches are doing the same and we are 10 states away from LA & MS. I am confident we are not the only city with churches that are reaching out to Katrina victims.

What happened to you and your family? Where were you living?

I live in the DFW area. We took in a family from Metarie for about a month. Our church collected funds every Wednesday and Sunday, and then put together the most superficial response I have ever seen.

What is ten states away from LA and MS? Panama?
