The liberal Anglicans are just getting more and more out there.

Forget the belief that God will provide huh??? Just take it, and it's FREE!!!

The minister is very wrong to tell his sheep to sin before the Lord God, and have no faith to seek the face of God for the poor. Father I command that this ministries will be led by you, as your plan for your children, Open the doors where the words they heard are under the bridge and forgotten, Bring provision for these persons and put your spirit in them In Jesus name.

One would think that swallowing their pride and asking the church for help would be a far more godly path to take then such worldly desperate measure of shoplifting.

I take it, the Anglican priest does not want to show the church's faith in God's Providence by providing for the poor from the bounty the church has collected?
