After watching Invisible Children's movie and reading and hearing a variety of responses to it, I felt so encumbered—not just by the terrible and complex problems IC is addressing, but also by the common tendency of people to vilify and finger-point. Such a tendency achieves nothing, but your willingness to step back and view this through the lens of spiritual conviction and personal emotional investment is very heartening. Your addressing of both the strengths and weaknesses of IC's humanitarian efforts and your consideration of other ways to address the problems in Central Africa are things I wish more people would strive to attain. There really ARE Spirit-led, compassionate, sober-minded people involved in this great, big dialogue! And I'm glad one of those people is my friend.<br /><br />Once again, THANKS! :-)<br />ASAaron S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5061530749215871485.post-49346652779359745022012-03-12T14:03:43.008-07:002012-03-12T14:03:43.008-07:00This is such a helpful response to address a compl...This is such a helpful response to address a complex issue.
