For those of you inclined to rail against anything you consider the “social gospel”, Thabiti Anyabwile has a few questions:
What’s the difference between disaster relief efforts in a situation like Haiti’s and what we sometimes term the social gospel?
How is disaster relief different from consistent efforts to alleviate suffering in more chronic situations?
Why does disaster relief not provoke concern about “the social gospel” while efforts to say, reduce child poverty, do?
