@timkellernyc This @PhilanthropyRnd piece is a great resource and reminder of the impact and influence of religious giving. Thanks for highlighting @timkellernyc!

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

Interesting data about social healing where religious givers are the dominant influences. Graph #13 shows Christians are 2.5x more likely to adopt children vs. the national rate, and they play a large role in fostering and adopting hard-to-place kids.

Giving money to someone who is homeless is probably not the best thing to do....but it’s also not the worst thing. Ideas: gift cards, giving a @hfny resource card, prayer, dialogue etc. @Josiahhaken #FormedforJustice
