hello injustice
September 10, 2009
something’s wrong with this photograph. wake up Church.
Welcome to the world around you. Hello injustice. It’s time to wake up to the reality of what is around us. The photographer who took this amazing shot won an award for it, apparently the world felt it was worthy of acknowledgment as well. Sadly, the story of the man behind the lens is he committed suicide a few months after this photograph. He was overwhelmed with the amount of evil and injustice surrounding him daily as he took photos of these beautiful people. He did not know where to turn. Wake up Church. It’s time to do something about this. This is not “their issue”. This is our issue. This breaks the heart of God. I can only imagine what He must think when He sees this constantly and He waits for His Church to step up to the plate.
It’s been far too long since we’ve been holding hands with complacency, mediocrity and injustice. Enough is enough. Don’t our mouths get tired of speaking when there is no action following after?? Mine sure does. The little child in the photograph died soon after this was taken. Absolutely unacceptable. Our hearts should ache to do something about this. What does that even mean? Start praying. Begin moving. The Lord will do the rest.
It’s time to say good-bye to injustice and say hello to the work of the Cross. Say hello to the Gospel. Imagine this little child being one of your loved ones. Would you still stay comfy on your couch if this was the case? Just a thought. Something to stir your hearts with .. we have more than we need. If you have the ability to even fall upon my blog right now, then you certainly have more than enough.
Good-bye Injustice. You are no longer invited here.
Whatever our religious belief we all know right from wrong and good from evil.
This is tragic and we continue to sit in our comfortable ‘western’ homes and say the odd prayer. No human if free until all humans are free. We must pull together to stop the injustice of poverty and abuse throughout our planet.
Our own fight in the UK is about The injustice of Government funded child abuse.
It’s tragic the way our ‘civilised’ societies treat children in care, whether in the care of a religious or government institution. We’re currently investigating the injustices of brutal restraining techniques used in UK Young Offenders Institutions and Childcare homes. Private prison service companies receive up to £178,000 per child per year.
Award winning film director Bill Maloney (who has himself come forward as a victim of abuse) and Pie ‘n’ Mash Films have been working on a documentary with over 20 men who were all sexually abused by senior prison office ‘Neville Husband’ back in the 70s and who are now in the process of taking the Home Office to court. We also discovered that the youngest child in English custody Adam Rickwood (14) committed suicide at the same detention centre only four years ago. We have interviews with Adam’s family who do not believe he committed suicide and with four of the men who were abused back in the 70s at the same centre. Ligatures and torture techniques were used! Please take a few minutes to view the trailer for ‘Adam Rickwood & The Medomsley Heroes’: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D34cshT2vto&feature=channel_page and leave your comments.

If we all pull together we CAN make a difference.
