for social actiontoo much emphasis on what man can do Its obvious that failh without works is dead but works without faith wont amount to much either This reminds us of question asked priest What would be better he was asked to kneel down and say some prayers for the sick or to hop into the car and visit the sick at hospital The priests answer was sim ple Why not kneel down say few prayers then hop into the car and visit the hospital There can he no doubt that all chur ches today are more socially active than they were even five years ago Its new kind of social actionnot the tea bingo

the urches what they doing utioclal problems other than speaking out from pulpit Also the churches came to see that silence actually voices approval of things as they are and everyone was calling for things to be changed for the better However it seems that something has been lost in the rocess as though too much attention being shifted away fromrthe spiritual and over to the so cial happy balance
