And, I confess my frustration at the manner in which low-income persons are regarded by our culture and our churches. I believe in relationships that are authentic, not forced, not under constraint. And, I have found that the people I work with appreciate simple friendship. No one is going away in our equation! Plenty of time just to be who we all are! <BR/><BR/>One last note: our approach is in no way shaped by concerns for getting or endangering funding by any insitution or group. We do our work and let the funders decide if they want to be involved wiht us.Larry Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06124477733714017000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9827454.post-24715605324494387992007-06-14T08:56:00.000-05:002007-06-14T08:56:00.000-05:00Thanks, Larry, for your perspective on my response...Thanks, Larry, for your perspective on my response to your June 1 post. I wanted to e-mail you so as not to speak indirectly through a blog. But I couldn't find your e-mail address.<BR/><BR/>I want to be open to what you say. This work with the poor is so new to me. So thank you for taking the time to respond.<BR/><BR/>I pray today for a hundred fold blessing of the Lord upon you and your work at CDM.<BR/><BR/>Your brother in Christ,<BR/><BR/>Jim ClarkJim Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10752289145431428448noreply@blogger.com
