“What I love about the ministry of Jesus is that he identified
the poor as blessed and the rich as needy...and then he went
and ministered to them both. This, I think, is the difference
between charity and justice. Justice means moving beyond
the dichotomy between those who need and those who supply
and confronting the frightening and beautiful reality
that we desperately need one another.”
