"...the significance (and ultimately the quality) of the work we do is determined by our understanding of the story in which we are taking part." Wendell Berry


Activism
Christ's endless concern for the poor, oppressed and neglected displays something of the heart of God. And so there may be no greater reward than joining in his concerns by donating our time to organizations which are working diligently to see the wrongfully imprisoned set free, the hungry fed, the oppressor brought to justice, and the sick made well. Our calling is not to isolate and then help, but to join our fellow men serving the poor and oppressed, whether they share our specific political and religious views or not. In serving, we also get to meet some great people and redeem to them the relational dynamic of Christian Spirituality just as they redeem the image of a person who does not share our faith (a person we believe God made). One thinker said it this way: "We know we have made God in our image when he hates the same people we hate." ~ Donald Miller
