Give A Little Bit.

Or, if you're a typical greedy, uncaring, uncompassionate, consumerist capitalist American, you give a lot. A helluva lot.

Which made me think - what about my church? Well, let's take a look at the Episcopal Church Foundation. Here is their mission statement. And here is their CharityNavigator.org rating.

One star.

That's right, one bloody star. Which, according to CharityNavigator.org, means, "POOR. Fails to meet industry standards and performs well below most charities in its Cause."

Episcopal Relief and Development, however, does rather better: Four stars.
