To the Editor:

What if God does not look at our impressive churches and long prayers to measure our faithfulness? What if God looks at the condition of those living in poverty in our country? What if hungry children are more important than bigger tax cuts for the rich? The life of faith is not only worship and Bible study. It is action, seeking sufficient, sustainable livelihood for all.

Returning to the past trickle-down economics is more of what got us in economic disaster five years ago. It has taken many years to climb out, and we are not all the way out yet, but overall situations are improving in spite of the new radicals in our House of Representatives who don’t understand that democracy is about working together for solutions.
