  10. Cornelius van Santvoord, Reformed Dutch pastor, considers life of Jesus after reading Dickens. Jesus told followers to do good and to give. Faith and hope, and “reformatory enterprises”, are worthless without love (here, synonymous with charity).

    Today, do we see many who are champions of “reformatory enterprises” who are fine with charitable operations being completely shut down? How good is that faith?

    How can you follow in His footsteps?

  11. Cornelius van Santvoord, Protestant Reformed Dutch pastor, muses on Charles Dickens. His love ethic comes from the Gospel, which connects love to man and love to God. Secular humanitarians of his age said it was self-existent.

    Secular humanists try to dissolve the indissoluble. Today do religionists pour acid from the other side to disconnect orthodox Christianity from humanitarian causes?

    How can you exercise benevolence?

  12. City workers in Atlanta have killed a man living in a tent while clearing a homeless encampment with construction equipment near Martin Luther King’s famous Georgia church.

    The death of #Cornelius #Taylor on Thursday afternoon resulted from an effort to reduce the visibility of people without shelter near the city’s historic Ebenezer Baptist church as an accommodation for crowds expected in the area to celebrate King this weekend and on Monday, the federal holiday dedicated to the civil rights leader’s life and legacy.

    Taylor’s death has infuriated homelessness advocates and prompted a round of soul searching among city leaders.
    “The sweep, prior to which the city failed completely to check the tents, is a stopgap measure to try to project a false, sanitized vision of Atlanta,”
    activists from the Housing Justice League said in a statement.
    “Taylor and everyone else living on the streets deserved much more than to be bulldozed out of the way for MLK Weekend festivities.
    Everyone deserves to live in dignity.”
