Alfred Houtz, a #Reformed pastor, notes that Acts 17:26 gives humanity one origin—awkward news for slavery and tribal hostility alike. Christians happily forget this when convenient. If we truly believed it, we might treat even irritating neighbours as kin. How will you?

Thomas Becon, Marian-era Reformer, taught every gift — strength, eloquence, wealth — comes earmarked for your neighbour's benefit. Now comfort flows to the comfortable, and the needy get told it's spiritual, not their problem. #puritans #reformeddoctrine #stewardship

Wylie’s Reformed Presbyterians didn’t merely deplore slavery — they barred slaveholders from communion. Some today treat such accountability as unseemly overreach. Wylie would find that puzzling. Traffic in persons? Leave the table.
