MAUREEN E. REDFIELD, San Clemente
As I read the latest San Clemente Times paper, I started to muse. Confused, because there were two articles that seemed to negate each other.
One article said that Mayor Duncan was joining the prayer group to honor those who have helped. That’s good. But I wondered a little later as I read the article saying that the City Council approved a strong commitment against helping those in our community who are in need during this rainy/cold season.
They also did not approve any help at this time but also enacted another order to not allow any “panhandling” on our streets.
Here’s my dilemma. Without casting any judgment and without full knowledge, I would assume that our council and those who spoke against this help are also members of one of the many religious organizations in our beautiful city: Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu.
None of which would approve of turning a blind eye to one in trouble.
So, I just was wondering, what God are they praying to?
