Questionable ethics

Somewhere in Breckenridge, CO, there's a church minister who recently hosted a group on English schoolchildren on a choir trip. It's pretty unlikely that he will read this, but I figure it's worth blogging about it on the off-chance. This weekend I spoke to one of the children who went on that trip - so I've now heard about this from three different sources (nevertheless this is still, ultimately, based on hearsay). In the minister's sermon were some remarks which so angered the teachers in the visiting party that one of them walked out of the church rather than listen to any more. Specifically, he remarked that the 'purpose' of the Boxing Day tsunami in Aceh was to 'clear some space' for Christian missionaries to go out there and convert the heathen. I wonder if he feels the same way about Hurricane Katrina.
