...all of our many religions and beliefs, and just get along?
There are wider problems in this world than religion (or lack thereof).
Poverty is perhaps the biggest one. Did you know that there are more Americans living in poverty than in some third world countries?
This is partly due to population differences, but nevertheless it shows that poverty exists in rich countries as well as poor. It's just easier to ignore in a rich country. It's relatively unknown that there are hundreds of thousands of British children who do not have a 'full' school uniform, or even more than one pair of shoes.
I already have the 17th of October booked in my diary. It's the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. I will be taking part in charity events on that day. I recommend you do the same.
So please... set aside your quarrels and recognise that there are people the world over who need our help. Not just in 'darkest Africa'.
Can I have thoughts and comments?
