of wrongs done to other people??
i have read that during holocaust some people tried to reach the pope to explain him what was going on in concentration camps but he just ignored them, Spanish and italian fascist regimes were blessed by christian churches, Pinochet, totalitarian regime in Argentina was blessed by roman church...
Are there examples where christians organizations did something to stop events like that??
please exact events not missions in wherever or christian hospitals in Tanganika.

When faced with death or a political backlash some people as well as some establishment are weak and will denounce God instead of have the faith God expects from them to confront the lion. I am proud to say that my Christian Great Aunts and Uncles hid jews in their homes and on their farms in Poland and prayed like crazy they wouldn't get caught. They didn't trust a living soul and kept it secret from their Christian friends and neighbors. They only trusted God. Sometimes you have to look past the church and into the souls of people regardless of their beliefs.

One of the real issues is that a Christian is a man. Yes! Really just like another man with another religion. All religious acts are not actually an indication of the religion but to the man, the men the group. The heart of man is wicked whether his religion is Hindu, Moslem or Christian. There must be a change in me for me to be different, to be a believer in Christ and to then be identified as a "Christian" means that Jesus Christ has forgiven me of all my sin. The need for this is because the heart of man is decietful and wicked- In fact who can know the heart. Men look on the outside, but it is God who looks on the heart and sees its condition. My heart and yours must be cleansed for us to have the ability to talk together, live together, to one day die together.
All of humanity will do that by the way. Die. The living is the tough part. Our lives are bound in prisons of culture, and religion. We in fact want to show how nice our prisons are. Look at what we have done, look at our art, look at our _____ and you can fill in the blank of that which in your culture or religion that you are proud of. Then we want to avoid showing some of the areas of our prision. We have rooms that are private. we really don't want others to see. Those that were tortured, those that were raped, those whose names are writen in History (yours and mine) of offenses we have done and acts commited that is to our shame. You see we are all in prisons of disobedience. The only way out is up. What can wash away my sin? The question is what can get me out of this prison I am in? What can make me really whole? I have found for me that this is Jesus Christ. Forgiveness. Peace. Life- real life, walking, leaping hope for tomorow life.
If there is something good done by Christians. Yes, Are there things that are bad done? The answer is yes. Are there things bad done by Moslems? yes. Hindus? yes. It is possible to do many things for the sake of the group, to represent the name. It isn't until Jesus Christ lives in my heart that I can truly be named Christian, then I may be able to represent that name. I hope that true believers will represent the name well.

During the heyday of the slave trade in Great Britain, Christian William Wilburforce and his allies fought for decades to stop the practice until they were successful.

Many Christians have spoken out and demonstrated against the practise of abortion. some groups of Christians helped smuggle escaped slaves to freedom through the underground railway.
