From here:

 There was a time when being a charity meant doing something real, something tangible.

Operating a soup kitchen.

Providing medical help to those in need overseas.

Helping orphans here in Canada.

Providing valuable goods or services.

That’s real charity work.

No longer.

Now it appears that hyper-political lobbying can count as charitable work too.

Yes, you can be a full-time whiner, and that counts as charity work!

This isn’t intended to be a description of the Anglican Church of Canada, but it is an apt characterisation:

The Social Justice and Advocacy Committee is organizing groups of Anglicans to meet with their newly elected and re-elected MPPs in the next few months to build positive relationships and discuss ways of advancing progress on the critical issues of poverty, hunger and affordable housing facing our society.
