Roe v. Wade, the UMC, Micro-transactions, & Human Trafficking w/ Cathy Chang
This week, we talk about SCOTUS with its leaked decision about Roe v. Wade and we hold our United Methodist siblings in our hearts as they experience a split in their denomination.
Question for the Week:
There is an increasing concern about children developing gambling-like addictions because of the use of micro-transactions and "loot boxes" in video games (paying for a chance to get a specific item or outfit). Some people want these removed entirely from games. What are your thoughts?
Special Guest:
Rev. Cathy Chang, Mission Co-worker, The Philippines, Presbyterian Mission Agency
Guest Question:
I recently learned that human trafficking is, in fact, still happening. I thought this practice and business died a long time ago, but clearly I was wrong. It's all over the world! And not only in “developing countries”! As an individual what can I do to prevent it? In the world context, is there something I can do?
