Nothing Closer to Reality Than Christianity: Journalist
For many years I’ve encountered the rather blithe notion, spread in many circles including the media, that organized, mainstream Christianity has been reduced to a musty, dimly lit backwater of contemporary life, a fading force. From what I’ve seen from my “ring-side seat” as a reporter at events over several decades, nothing is further from the truth. I’ve found there is no movement or force closer to the raw truth of war, famines, crises and the vast human predicament than organized Christianity in action. There is no alliance more determined and dogged in action than church workers, ordained and lay members, when mobilized for a common good.
