Oral Roberts and God’s ‘Threat’
Cal Thomas’s column (Editorial Pages, Jan. 19), “Can Oral Roberts Top Death Threat From God?” decries the pomposity of media ministers who invoke God’s name in their fund-raising.
Why, then, take a gratuitous potshot at the American Jewish Congress’ “exaggerated claims” in asking for money to combat the promotion of religious intolerance?
Are not Thomas’ column and AJC’s appeal both directed against demagoguery and its inevitable divisive consequences?
I received AJC’s solicitation for funds in the mail and did not respond, but Thomas’ questionable motives have prompted my very first contribution to the American Jewish Congress.
The Lord moves in mysterious ways.
