Henry Melvill Gwatkin, Anglican minister, discusses forms of Christian service. Letting the oppressed to free (Isaiah 58) serves God as much as anything in a sanctuary. These deeds are preaching a gospel of mercy to the poor, which draws its power from the gospel of salvation.
I was told by a reformed pastor that a Christian should not be talking about oppression.
How can you preach good news to the poor?
"The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character."

Leonard Black, Baptist minister in Va., laments that “enormities of slavery” had little impact on professing American Christians. Though they spilled blood to establish own freedom, 2.5 million await the same. Are they unaware?
Everyone was aware: tons of pastors spoke against it. No “men of their times.”
What can you do to learn more of enormities of slavery, and fight today’s “men of their times” arguments?
