G-rated

From the article "Can We Help to Break the Chains?" by Karen Stiller, FaithToday (March/April 2011):

"'We like to have a G-rated church, but as soon as you open the Bible, you realize Christianity is not always rated G,' says Cassells.  'The Church needs to engage in this issue, and become aware that out of the many prostitutes and the many, many buyers, we all know people personally involved in prostitution at some level.'

The church indeed welcomes the broken and attempts to usher in healing, while at the same time facing injustice that would be easier to ignore - and opposing it.  Prostitution is clearly such an injustice, where vulnerable women (and children and some men) are abused to meet the unrestrained appetites of people with whom we cross paths daily."
