Misused sacred name spurs welfare debate at banquet
A Chamber of Commerce banquet speech used Jesus Christ 38 times to justify stance against welfare reform. The speaker claimed blame for the poor lies in government aid and drew rebuttal by citing Jesus care for the needy. The piece notes welfare reform moves and quotes New Testament precedent on helping the poor. Separate notices cover Bible study courses led by Rev. Jerome J. Hevey Jr. at First Congregational Church and St. Paul’s Church in Manchester Center.
