Slavery 1618 to 2020!

Christian wealth built on the backs of black Peoples?

It is a sad thing to have to admit to as a born-again believer that the reformation legacy in some ways is no better than that of Roman Catholicism when it comes to the slave trade!

Despite the knowledge of knowing that God sees everything, it did not stop Anglicanism from profiting from the slave trade and excused missionary work to open up new fronts for more exploitation?

The great history of Christian mill owners doing good deeds for their workers, came at the cost of the cotton plantations in both the Caribbean and the Americas along with sugar and later rubber from Indonesia!

Merry Christmas.

What are we eating this ‘Christmas?

In a few days from now many people across the globe will be sitting down in families or alone to eat a meal that celebrates the birth of the baby Jesus. But what will we be eating!

For most of the year people are concerned about food and what makes up what we eat. Is our meat, fish, vedge, dairy and fruit coming from a safe source or is it free range.

There is a committed trade or production every year set in motion, after the holidays to prepare for the next. Christmas seasonal food is produced enmass and it is made a the cheapest cost and dressed up. ‘One could say it was carboard made to look nice.

Please enjoy your celebrations, but don’t eat to much of it and try not to be greedy either.

Proverbs 23:19-21,  28:6-9,  Titus 1:12.
