We were most troubled in several ways by the cover headline: “What would Jesus give?” (April 7-8) How can anyone doubt that Jesus would most decidedly have helped the homeless and less fortunate than ourselves?
The headline suggesting that some people who are so poor that they need to ask for help, seems to pass over the fact that these people are going through tough times, often from no fault of their own. Those who have so little deserve compassion and generosity from those of us who have so much more.
We should be more disturbed by the CEOs in our country receiving millions upon millions of dollars than by the poor who are only trying to get by.
