I’ve been somewhat critical of religion. I’ve written before about not understanding how a committed “Christian” can be a Trump supporter.
Today I saw an example of how religious people should act. We took our unused sewing machine down to the small town of Perkasie. A church there collects them and ships them overseas to villages in Africa where recipients can use them to start small-scale businesses.
While we were there, a guy was unloading plastic buckets from his car. He said that each bucket contained “sanitary packets” of soap, a tooth brush and toothpaste, and other materials that can be used after a disaster. The empty buckets, of course, also have many uses. The church in Perkasie acts as the depot for about ten churches in the area. When they accumulate a load of supplies, a truck is called and the material is taken to a disaster site.
