I’ve wanted to do a series of post like this for a while and I think now is the time to tackle it. The goal is to write a series of posts (every Friday) on social issues I believe Christians should be aware of. The posts will be brief, summarize the issue, present the facts, and then attempt to make a connection as to why Christians should be concerned about the topic.

I haven’t settled on the 50, but here is my current list from a brainstorm:

AIDS globally
AIDS in USA
conflict diamonds
consumerism
death row exoneration
divorce
domestic abuse
eating disorders
female genital mutilation
gentrification
history of the Native People (in the USA)
homelessness
immigrants
international debt
lack of clean drinking water
Lack of tithing in the USA
land mines
leprosy
malaria
marketing to children
military industrial complex/revolving door
multinational corporations (walmart, coke, nike, etc)
police brutality
pornography
self mutilation
sex exploitation in SE Asia
Sex trafficking
slavery
STDs
suicide
the cancer belt
unequal public education
voter discrimination
wage gap
sweatshops
orphans worldwide

If you have another topic to add please do so here or leave it in the comments. I’m also interested in your opinions of the above topics, are they important, overwhelming, outdated, unnecessary?
