Public Charity Compared to Private Charity by Rector Parshley
Canon Anthony R. Parshley of St. Michael's Church argues in his sermon that public relief risks becoming coldly efficient and less sympathetic, urging a national choice between government administration and private charity. He warns against professionalizing charity and education, noting how officials may prioritize jobs and efficiency over genuine help and urging Christian society to maintain generous charity.
