Chapter 10: Research, Writing, Editing, Uniting?<\/strong><\/p>\nIn 1989, it\u2019s nearly fifteen years since the Vietnam War ended, but the other issue that animated me in my Marxist days, how to help the poor, is still very much with us. The left-wing solutions to which I once pledged allegiance continue to fail. What are the Christian alternatives?<\/p>\n
I read in the Bible hundreds of references to helping the poor, such as this one in 1 John 3:17: \u201cIf anyone has the world\u2019s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God\u2019s love abide in him?\u201d I wonder how nineteenth-century American Christians, who on average read the Bible more frequently than we do today, reacted to that admonition. Judging from some quick research in the University of Texas library, little happened in American poverty-fighting until the federal government became active in the 1930s.<\/p>\n
That seems unlikely. When the Heritage Foundation invites me to propose a project worthy of a year-long fellowship that will underwrite an Olasky family move to Washington, DC, for a year, I submit my plan to write a book about Christian charities before the New Deal. My hypothesis is that historians who focus on government programs have missed that history.<\/p>\n
Heritage is enthusiastic. Susan and our children are excited. UT gives me a leave of absence. So, starting in September, I walk the mile from our rental house to the Silver Spring, Maryland, Metro stop. Then it\u2019s a fifteen-minute ride to Union Station and a short walk to the Heritage office or to a gorgeous Library of Congress reading room, where I fill out slips of paper requesting books to be brought to me.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s luxurious research. A pneumatic system whooshes away the slips. Staffers retrieve books from the massive stacks. Books appear almost magically on my desk. Tidy, efficient\u2014but the system is only as good as my ability to request the right books by the right call numbers. How do I request materials if I don\u2019t even know they exist?<\/p>\n
I apply for and receive a pass that allows me to wander the loaded bookstacks, literally blowing dust off books and records that have languished in anonymity for decades. Only then do I understand the breadth of the nineteenth-century war on poverty. Those records, along with old newspaper accounts, show Christian charities helping to change lives. The documents show how homeless people might come to a mission looking for food
and shelter, \u201cthree hots and a cot.\u201d Millions over the decades receive that and more: physical and<\/em> spiritual sustenance.<\/p>\nNot all my learning comes from Library of Congress records. On wintry mornings near Capitol Hill, men and women wrapped in blankets huddle near heating grates. I wonder what kind of help shelters and clinics offer them, so in March 1990, as the crocuses and daffodils begin to bloom, I take off my wedding ring and stop showering. I wear two dirty sweaters, put electrical tape on my glasses, and shuffle through inner-city DC.<\/p>\n
Two days of walking and wandering yield ample offers of food, clothing, medicine, and a cot\u2014even physical therapy at a local pool. Only at a massive shelter run by the Center for Creative Non-Violence does anyone ask about my background. When I mutter, \u201cI wrote speeches for DuPont\u2019s president,\u201d my welcomer must think I\u2019m crazy. But he rolls with it and says I can write a speech about awful Republican policies.<\/p>\n
Except for that offer, no one asks me to do anything\u2014not even to remove a tray after eating. At the Zaccheus Community Kitchen, provider of excellent free breakfasts in the basement of the First Congregational Church at Tenth and G Sts. NW, a young volunteer keeps putting food down in front of me and asking if I want more. Finally, I gruffly mumble, \u201cCould I have a . . . Bible?\u201d She tries to figure out what I\u2019ve requested: \u201cDo you want a bagel? A bag?\u201d When I respond, \u201cA Bible,\u201d she says, politely but firmly, \u201cI\u2019m sorry, we don\u2019t have any Bibles.\u201d<\/p>\n
Library experience, along with some street-level reporting, leads me to propose \u201cconservative compassion\u201d\u2014not a centralized, massive distribution of funds but challenging help offered in one-to-one relationships. My book will be titled The Tragedy of American Compassion<\/em>, a story of how past American poverty-fighters strove for a middle road that would avoid both social Darwinism (survival of the fittest) and social universalism (everyone gets handouts regardless of behavior).<\/p>\nIt\u2019s a tragedy because American history shows us how to fight poverty in a way that helps millions\u2014but from the 1960s on, in our attempt to achieve complete success and further not just compassion but a Great Society, we seduce some into thinking they can droop without consequences. I develop another goal alongside my journalistic one: to help reform poverty-fighting by pushing it toward a compassionate conservatism that is deeply realistic about fallen human nature, yet optimistic about man\u2019s God-given capacity to change.<\/p>\n
For a time it looks like a major New York publisher will put out my book, but the corporation eventually says no: The Tragedy of American Compassion<\/em> describes the centrality of churches in past poverty-fighting, so it\u2019s \u201ctoo religious.\u201d In 1992 a small company publishes Tragedy<\/em> with almost no marketing money behind it. The book seems to be a tree falling in a forest with no one in earshot.<\/p>\nOther developments, though, give me little time to mourn over that disappointment. Another year of research at the Library of Congress, this time funded by Americans United for Life, leads to a book on the history of abortion. I also chair a quarterly meeting of what becomes known as Life Forum, where the heads of pro-life organizations assemble in Washington to debate and occasionally coordinate their work.<\/p>\n
My ambitious goal is to help the pro-life movement avoid playing into the stereotype that it\u2019s full of fire-breathers who don\u2019t care about women. In one meeting Guy Condon, who through most of the 1990s is president of the pregnancy help group Care Net, shows how pro-lifers can \u201clove them both\u201d\u2014
pregnant moms and unborn babies. He\u2019s followed by Randy Terry, head of Operation Rescue, who roars, \u201cGOD WILL WIPE OUT THIS COUNTRY. . . . GOD WILL AVENGE INNOCENT BLOOD.\u201d<\/p>\n
At dinner with Terry in 1990, at the height of his notoriety, I tell him, \u201cYou seem to see yourself as a John Brown.\u201d I expect him to deny it, but he offers an enthusiastic Yes! \u201cSo you want to start a civil war?\u201d Yes! Terry and his allies say anyone willing to make exceptions for the 2 percent of unwanted pregnancies resulting from rape and incest is pro-abortion. Given public opinion, I\u2019m for \u201call or something\u201d rather than \u201call or nothing,\u201d but trying to bring peace among warring factions is above my skill set.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, entrepreneur Joel Belz and his brother Nat struggle to put out World<\/em>, an audaciously titled weekly news magazine from a Christian perspective. Joel reads Prodigal Press<\/em> and asks me in 1990 to join World\u2019s board of directors. I do, and learn that World, with a circulation of about twelve thousand, is losing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Two board members in 1992 propose shutting down the magazine. Others say no but ask, after hearing my ideas about journalism, that I pull an editing oar. That means spending summers in Asheville, North Carolina, with my whole family in 1993 and 1994. Given Austin summer heat, no one objects.<\/p>\nDuring the school year, technology allows me to work from Austin. We install a dedicated fax line in our bedroom and connect to it a thermal paper fax machine. I look at the major stories, which roll out of the machine on shiny paper at a glacial pace, and fax back edited pages.<\/p>\n
For two years, Joel Belz remains the editor, but he runs children\u2019s newspapers and a book club along with the magazine and writes for it a weekly column. He has a young assistant editor and only one full-time World reporter, who\u2019s now of retirement age. He repeatedly asks me to pivot into full editorship, with authority over the entire publication. He will remain as publisher, with authority over the business aspects. He agrees that we will have a wall of separation between the editorial and business sides, so journalists don\u2019t feel pressure to please advertisers or donors.<\/p>\n
In 1994, I agree to take over, because it\u2019s one thing to teach about the problems of journalism and another to try doing better, week after week. I know from teaching journalism history that many Christian publications have failed because they were solemn and preachy. Sometimes they paired that with happy talk, practicing public relations rather than journalism. World <\/em>needs to avoid those mistakes, but we\u2019ll unavoidably end up stepping on toes. Sometimes that will be deliberate, but sometimes, since I myself didn\u2019t grow up in evangelical circles, we\u2019ll receive credit for courage after offending out of ignorance.<\/p>\nJoel Belz, recognizing that Christian journalism needs reforming, accepts the risk. A headline in the December 10, 1994, issue displays his sigh of relief: \u201cOur experienced editor-at-large becomes editor at last.\u201d I have time because Texas taxpayers are kind enough to pay me a full-time salary for two days a week of teaching, meeting students, and grading papers. Joel settles in as World\u2019s publisher. His one full-time reporter retires. We try out freelancers and build a staff of journalists who will be both accurate and lively.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m looking for what sounds like an oxymoron\u2014serious fun. One example: Instead of a stuffy opinionater about the heavy bureaucracy of the Department of Agriculture, I have a Washington reporter trot from one federal office to another asking, \u201cDo you know where to find the National School Lunch Program?\u201d He ends up in Virginia, and we show the department\u2019s size.<\/p>\n
To point out the hypocrisy of those who oppose school choice but send their own children to DC\u2019s toniest private schools, the reporter rides around Washington with a Ghanian cabbie whose own children attend public schools. We report the driver\u2019s reaction to expensive education edifices.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll also scrutinize Christian groups, but in 1995 and 1996 I don\u2019t have the enormous amount of time that\u2019s needed to monitor investigations. That\u2019s because, unknown to me, word of mouth in 1993 and 1994 is gaining The Tragedy of American Compassion<\/em> a small following in New York, Washington, and Austin.<\/p>\nOne of the Texas fans of the book is Karl Rove, the key political advisor of gubernatorial candidate George W. Bush. Rove brings us together for an hour of conversation. One of the Washington fans is Congressional leader Newt Gingrich, who is calling for a revolution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
