I've wondered why the voice of the church has been so silent when it comes to speaking on behalf of the 99% - they've had a clear directive from JC on that.
They most certainly have.
Of course, I can understand some hesitation in identifying oneself with a movement whose ultimate development and goals are yet rather vague.
I also have been around long enough to understand that most churches of any size are ultimately dependent on the wealthy and usually conservative members who provide the most contributions.
Nevertheless - as you say, the Founder gave very clear guidance on this topic, no mistake about it. And He wasn't afraid to speak out, was he?
