Health Care and Christian Churches

The Open Forum article on the Christian Morality of Limits (SF Chronicle, Oct.1, 2009) tacitly challenges the Roman Catholic Church, Mormons and conservative fundamentalists. They speak boldly and publicly against the right of same gender people to marry, lesbian/gay rights and abortion. These same churches that say they are followers of Jesus, the healer, fail to support important measures to ensure health care for some thirty-five million children and adult Americans who cannot afford health insurance. These Christian churches are mostly silent on the public issue that will bring health and healing to millions.
