In reply to Eli. 52 vouchers worth $120 euros each comes out to $6,240. That's a lot of money. And yes, those are all images of the Virgin Mary. 5 images and one idol of Mary (behind them) in just one picture.

In reply to Andy Roman.

Il momento di preghiera di quest’anno, incentrato su Isaia 1:17 “Imparate a fare il bene, cercate la giustizia”, è stato semplicemente un bellissimo momento di testimonianze, canto e dialogo tra persone civili ed educate di religioni diverse.
L’incontro si è concluso con la simbolica costruzione di “ponti” su uno striscione con la scritta PACE e GIUSTIZIA dove ciascun partecipante, deponendo una pietra, si impegnava verso il cammino del FARE IL BENE (… e la vostra illazione sulla Vergine Maria è COMPLETAMENTE fuori luogo!!!)

Detto ciò vorrei invece soffermarmi sulla Festa Solidale che ha devoluto il ricavato per aiutare BAMBINI UCRAINI DI QUALSIASI RELIGIONE SCAPPATI DALLA GUERRA e accolti nella nostra città di Cesena.

Per cui la vostra frase “hanno dato molti soldi ai cattolici ucraini” non solo è falsa, è assolutamente in MALAFEDE.

Vi invito ad INFORMARVI prima di parlare.

Con amore fraterno. Eli.

In reply to Eli. Could you then please explain the rocks that were used in this "bridge-building" ecumenical event?

Esempio perfetto di manipolazione di notizie. Porre enfasi e demonizzare particolari, invece di riportare la realtà degli eventi. Mi vergogno per chi ha scritto questo articolo. Estremamente delusa e amareggiata.

This man needs to be replaced ASAP and all others just like him.

ADRA has lost its vision a long time ago. I’m not sure why the church continues to support this group financially when it engages in questionable activities like this.

Come out of her my people. Why has this message vanished? With all the ecumenicism sweeping through our ranks, it has been lost.

Wow! I am so glad that we are being made aware of what our “GC recognized SDA faithful ministry” is doing with their budget and more importantly the free will offerings of those who sit in the pews. The church members that have given their offerings to this GC recognized ministry in good faith are under the false understanding that their donations are spreading the gospel. They couldn’t be more wrong!

Our eyes were opened years ago as to ADRA and what it wasn’t and isn’t doing in many locations which is SHARE THE GOSPEL ALONG WITH helping people in need of food, water, clothing, and shelter. They also partner up with Catholic charities and our name must be hidden while the Catholic charity gets to display their name…so our van rolls into town with our name hidden along side the Catholic van with name clearly seen and guess what conclusion people will come to? Oh the unmarked van is ALSO Catholic….

We gave to ADRA for YEARS a very nice amount of money but when we found out that they will not talk about God or Jesus, or hand out Christian literature, and comply with such requirements as black out our identity when the Catholics don’t have to in some locations then we stopped supporting them. Why are we helping to promote the Catholic Church?

My suggestion to all who read this: call the ministry that you are thinking about donating to and ask them how they fund raise (some ministries have “all expenses paid weekend retreats” for those who gave a high dollar amount in the previous year at a fancy hotel with very nice accommodations), what is their administrative costs in percentage of the entire budget, who do they partner with, and do they receive government money because that brings with it a lot of requirements and restrictions.

Be faithful stewards of your tithes and offerings…give to those who are faithful in spreading the three angels messages!
