General Board of Church and Society How many times have we heard it pointed out that Jesus said the poor
will always be with us. How many time has this statement been used to
permit us to shrug our shoulders about persistent poverty or to
rationalize opposition to programs to aid the poor?

Maybe we, and the church, should be looking at why programs aimed at the poor have done such a horrible job. Americans have been very generous both individually and through taxes to help the poor. Let's look at these programs and start asking why they fail to achieve their goals....and start looking at politicians and ask why they don't seek results.

It would also help if we looked to the way woman, especially black women, are treated in various forms of music being listened to by our children. Why would they not grow up feeling rejected given how they are spoken of in modern culture.
