Henry Moncreiff-Wellwood, Church of Scotland leader, considers the effect of Christianity. Its impact on the world felt since its start in offerings for orphans, those forsaken of disease, those in prison, and strangers from a distance.

Do we really want strangers from a distance to expect things from churches today? Should the diseased be seeking out churches as well?

How can you support your local church and all these groups?

Walther Henry Medhurst, Congregational missionary to China, talks of getting around China. He says it would “contaminate” “the cause of God” to use friendly smugglers from the opium cartel to do so.
