What is TEC’s solution to poverty? Essentially, to have money taken from others in the form of taxes to help the poor, while TEC continues to spend the great majority of its own vast wealth on the salaries of its worship leaders and its lovely buildings.
What if TEC, blessed with huge endowments and glorious buildings, went and sold all it has and gave it to the poor, instead of using most of its funds to cover the cost of playing church? That might come closer to eradicating poverty than effusions of hot air.
