Concern for the Poor

The Make Poverty History campaign, 20 years after Band AId and Live Aid, reminds us that people are still dying, at a rate of 1 child every three seconds, because of poverty. Jesus told his followers to love their neighbours, and made it very clear that this should include everyone. Many Christians struggle reconciling these two facts.

Some Christians focus on the causes of poverty. MPH put a great emphasis on getiing governments to change legislation. Live 8, in 2005, was so named to refer to the G8, and the focus of the concert was to raise awareness rather than money.

Other Christians respond in a practical way, supporting charities that work to improve conditions in developing countries.
