Though the U.S. is the only power left in the world with credibility, vision and resources to make a difference, Andrew Young told a breakfast gathering at the 212th General Assembly today, only the churches and business have the flexibility to respond quickly enough to the needs of the world. In meeting the challenges of economic globalization we have no other choice, former U.N. Ambassador, Carter administration official, Atlanta mayor and current National Council of Churches president, Andrew M. Young told the second annual General Assembly Breakfast.
Governments just can t move fast enough.
And because business is such a critical player in the world economy, Young said, it s imperative that churches do a better ministry with corporation heads. I know these folk. They are on the cutting edge through no fault of their own and their lives can be very lonely. We need to be there with them. The church must be open to new ways Jesus Christ is making himself known in the world, Young said.
