Walking the Edge of Immorality - Page 3

I left Gamaliel disillusioned and disgusted by what seemed to me to be pure evil.  How could a faith-based organization operate under such a skewed, cynical view of the world? Where was God in that scheme? I should have exposed them then. I had a duty to do so. We can't content ourselves with feelings of moral superiority while people with corrupt principles are out there building power.  We ignore these bad apples to our own peril.   We have to be willing to shake the tree, letting the rotten ones fall where the may. If we don't do it ourselves, then the Media will surely do it for us!

    Nice article. It's extremely important for those of you in the field who actually attempt to do some good (whatever your political orientation) to seek to be like Caesar's wife - above reproach.

    Good luck to you in your efforts!

    I admire your honesty Rey. And your commitment to real community service.

    This organization will get exposed for what it is.

    What is your problem? Greg Galluzzo is no devil and IAF folks aren't saints. Greg talks like his mentors, Saul Alinsky and Tom Gaudette. You have a problem with Saul and Tom. How about Ed Chambers who sound every bit as cynical as you are trying to make Greg out to be?
