Thomas Skinner, Reformed Dutch pastor, quotes a French agriculturalist, Adrien Étienne Pierre on slavery. Enslaved families are ripped apart at auction, the marriage vow disruped, adulterous unions forced, miles away. All among devout Christians with their their assent.

Slavery disrupted families. Today, are the ones talking most about families also most ready to rehabilitate the reputation of slavery?

How can you protect families?

THOMAS HARVEY SKINNER, Jr. (1820-1892) "Comfort in Tribulation" '... in the striking language of Count de Gasparin, 'Every day in all the Southern States, families are sold at retail; the father to one, the mother to another, the son to a third, the young daughter to a fourth; and the father, the mother, the children, are scattered to the four winds of heaven ; these hearts are broken, these poor beings are given a prey to infamy and sorrow, these marriages are ruptured, and adulterous unions are formed twenty leagues, a hundred leagues away, in the bosom and with the assent of a Christian community."

Lucas 6:27-28 • NVT
“Mas a vocês que me ouvem, eu digo: amem os seus inimigos, façam o bem a quem os odeia, abençoem quem os amaldiçoa, orem por quem os maltrata.”

James Hastings, Scottish United Free Church minister, says that the position of women is particularly degraded in places where the teaching of Christ is unknown. Christ lifted women from being mere toy or slave of men.

Some may say women to not fare well under Christian fundamentalist movements. I say, if that’s true, it still is in no way counterevidence to Hasting’s premise!

How can you work against the degradation of women?

"Oh, how sad and degraded is the position of Woman, where the teaching of Christ is unknown, or disregarded though known! It is the Christ of the Bible, it is His Spirit entering into Humanity, that has lifted Woman, and made her the helpmate and the friend of Man, not his toy or his slave."
