and Vanessa Ho writes "Church won't host homeless shelter that doesn't do sex offender checks"

Good articles Benjamin. It is shocking to think that the 'basics' do not apply to a large percentage of the population of the world.
And there is an inerrant problem at the heart of Christian service. We turn away some of the people most in need of help (eg sex offenders) because they're too difficult. On the other hand, I suppose the church doesn't exactly have a great record on child protection.
you're not a waste of space in my humble opinion! i rather like the space which is you!
