Did you know... that Emmaus United Methodist Church has helped survivors of the 2004 Gatumba massacre in Burundi resettle in Albany, New York?

Biased Info?[edit]

This is a nice article, but parts of the "Beliefs and Programs" section seem to contain advertising of a sort. "Membership is encouraged," the refugees found the church "welcome and healing," etc. Does anyone else see this as an issue? Chevsapher (talk) 04:18, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Both are cited to sources. "Welcome and healing" is a paraphrase of what the Times said ... perhaps I should include quotes from the article in the cite. As for "membership", perhaps I should change that to "active participation". In fact, I will. Daniel Case (talk) 16:33, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Much better. It reads much more like an encyclopedia now. I know it's a bit hard to write neutrally when the sources are from a swayed point of view, especially where religion is involved. Thanks! Chevsapher (talk) 17:13, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
