Emperor Julian
“Atheism (Christianity) has been specially advanced through the loving service rendered to strangers, and through their care for the burial of the dead. Slide5
Emperor Julian
It is a scandal that there is not a single Jew who is a beggar and that the godless Galileans care not only for their own poor but for ours as well; while those who belong to us look in vain for the help we should render them.” Slide6
The Gospel of MatthewSlide7Slide8
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely
I am with you always,
to the very end of the age
.

“...
programs
create
dependency
.
They
do not
address
the
deeply
unjust
systems
that
have
created
the
problem
.
Instead
, all
too
often
,
they
provide
means
for
the
affluent
to
be
distracted
from
the
real
work
among
the
poor
,
assuaging
their
guild
while
accomplishing
little
.”

“In
terms
of
money
,
the
larger
the
amount
of
money
that
flows
to
the
poor
apart
from
relationship
,
the
more
likely
the
givers
are
supporting
systems
that
caused
the
injustice
in
the
first
place
.”

Poverty
is
not
primarily
about
money
.
It
is
about
having
no
idea
what
do
to
and
/
or
no
one
with
home
to
do it. The
former
I
called
imagination
and
the
latter
I
called
community
. Slide28
To
the
extent
that
our
neighborhood
had
imagination
and
community
,
we
were
not
poor
. But
without
imagination
and
community
,
no
money
could
help
us
… The
role
of
the
local
church
is
to
be
a
community
of
imagination
{
for
the
Kingdom
}.
