our churcfres charity everyone 9 responsibility by rer volker klaae alton mhrioniry chorck let the government take care of them has been a favoured answer when children were abandoned by separated parents when young people got in constant trouble with the law when people were af flicted with mental disorders or when old folk had no one to care for them the government that means an in stitution a big place for hundreds of like cases ibm computers and gadgets experts and specialists everywhere it means a strange world of its own in many cases a government institution is a poor answer basic human needs are met in communal commitments in wellordered family relations and in a spiritual dimension through faith in god wherever these are not established any help from institutions is fragmentary expensive and questionable in its effect on society in the lives of many people the institution becomes an excuse for rejected responsibility a cheap alibi or a scapegoat and another factor to con tribute to so many wrong assumptions many developments show eg in disaster relief work and in social work that in stitutionalized agencies in welfare and charity are rather inefficient and inadequate in meeting the needs of people thoughtful leaders in administration of hospitals and correc tional institutions are very well aware of their dilemma there is a call for group homes where faithful house parents could care for abandoned children especially for those physically han dicapped for the chronically ill and retarded for delinquent youth and their rehabilitation for the many senior citizens and their needs the problem is that with the availability of institutions and work in these in stitutions nobody wants claremont news spring sale raffle at hall to establish such group homes or offer himself for house parenthood the- prevailing sentiment although it favours personal in dependence is opposed to any private initiative especially in welfare and charity the reason is that a christian lifeworld view has largely- been rejected lets be kind because its nice people say when they pay their dime to charity but a subjective mood or some sentimental humanism is inadequate to motivate us or to help us motivate others for charity especially when charity requires commitment dedication and sacrifice it is totally inadequate to show us a reasonable purpose and goal of life the only sound reason and motive for charity is based on gods revelation in christ and a sense of personal calling of god and it has been and is the mission of the church to bring people back to a place where they can receive such a personal calling ed note rev klaue whose wife died as the result of a tragic automobile accident last year will be leaving the altona missionary church in
