Letter to the editor: Accumulating wealth not a Christian problem

Notes: "In reply to Bishop Mark MacDonald's warning on accumulating wealth ('Two warnings', Sept. 2018, p. 5): in my church experience I have never found the accumulation of wealth to be a Christian problem. I remember two churches in downtown Toronto with wealthy congregations that developed a very successful 'Out of the Cold' program and food bank. All would not have been possible without the funding by wealthy people within the congregations. It is not the accumulation of wealth that is a sin, but what you do with that wealth after it has been given to you. Every congregation wants successful financial people within their congregations. We all have different talents, and if one of the talents is to make money, then praise the Lord. Always remembering, of course, from where the talents come". [Text of entire article.]
