MONTEVIDEO, URUGUAY

This new clinic was almost ready to open--with the blessings of the formerly officially atheist government of Uruguay.

They told me they would give us land if we would build a church and a school or a church and a clinic on the land.

"We are grateful," I said, "but I am curious why it is the church is the number one requirement?"

"Because your churches teach the men to marry the mothers of their children and to care for their families. That solves a problem for the State."
