Wow. I come from a Disciples of Christ background, and this is gut-wrenching. I think we have an easier time of it, since we tend to be chastened by Jesus' example and have an assurance that all injustice will be mended in its own course.
But I agree that no human organization has either the power or the wisdom to heal every injury, although that doesn't necessarily relieve us from the obligation to try. And I also think that everyone needs to be more intentional about their spiritual principles; it chills me when our respect for the inherent worth and dignity of all people ends when we see the bumper stickers on the back of their car.
