today's chewable vitamin
"in the face of such spiritual and human need, the church's flight to the suburbs cannot go unchallnged. how can we claim to be loyal to Christ's mission when we flee the mission field at our doorstep? when we forsake the inner city so that our lives will not be incovenienced by the sufferings of the neediest among us? we flee the mission fields we should be invading. we try to soothe our conciences with such token ministries to the poor as tracts and media--nice, safe "ministries" that do not require living or working among the poor, ministries that insulate us from sharing in their suffering."
~john perkins (one of my favorite christian authors)
