I'm from a WASPy town and haven't had contact with many non-Christians. I'm not trying to be rude or insulting, I just want info.
Christian churches & organizations like the Salvation Army and the Christian Children's Fund do so much for people of all faiths. They run soup kitchens & homeless shelters, provide food & medical care for refugees, facilitate adoptions, have coat & blanket drives for needy persons, run community food pantries, organize after school & summer programs for kids, provide free counseling for troubled marriages and depressed individuals. When my friend had surgery & couldn't care for her family, members of her church came into her home & took care of the cooking, laundy, & housework for her. Often, the services are available to people regardless of their religious beliefs.
What do non-Christians for for the less fortunate? Do they provide the same for those who don't share their beliefs, or do you have to belong to their faith/group to qualify for benefits?
