\"\"<\/div>\n

Mark Harris reports<\/a> on how aid is being sent to Peruvian earthquake victims by both the Episcopal Relief & Development Fund<\/a> (ERD<\/a>) and by its “if you don’t want anybody with the E-word in their name to touch your money” counterpart, the Anglican Relief & Development Fund<\/a> (ARDF<\/a>).<\/p>\n

I concur with both his points that (a) the ARDF news blurb takes a somewhat cheeky (and out of place) holier-than-them <\/em>attitude*, and (b) as long as people in need are being helped, that’s more important than doctrinal bickering. <\/p>\n

To that end, I’ve made a contribution to the Emergency Relief Fund<\/a> of the ERD (which I did the Blogathon for, and which is also assisting Hurricane Dean victims in Mexico and Belize).<\/p>\n

Kudos, by the way, to Bishop Godfrey<\/a> of the Anglican Diocese of Peru<\/a> who, unlike some in the “Global South,” is willing to take assistance for the people under his care regardless of the source.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

*The ARDF pages keep touting how they are made up of “North American Biblically-based<\/em> Anglicans,” (as opposed to, you know, those other <\/em>North American Anglicans who are based on the Necronomicon or something).<\/p>\n
