I saw many good points in the article, but the one main pint I will address is the fact that it stated that 'hand outs' to the poor are not necessarily working. If one just feeds the poor, then the poor will remain as they are. It speaks of the fact that the church needs to come out of itself and feed the poor, with whatever means necessary. They believe that poverty is a fundamental human concern. The only problem I see with this article is in the fact that it believes that goverment programs can change the status of the poor. I think that the government is not the answer for all the problems for the poor. I do believe that the church can address more important issues for the poor.
