#lovetheword — Public Fediverse posts

Alexander Whyte, was a moderator of the Free Church of Scotland. Here he considers the prison population in his time. He says they haven’t had the same advantages and opportunities as we have. Yet he doesn’t say that the crimes are therefore excused : they incriminate the soul.

Is this what would be called “soft on crime”, to blame society?

How can you help others with less advantages; help those in “sunken places”?

Henry B Whipple was the first Episcopal bishop of Minnesota. Here he writes of working with indigenous people, and expresses an outrage that reddens his cheeks at the lies told the Indians to steal their land. 
Does Whipple indict or does he represent your religion? Your civilization?
