In
Both Directions
The church has a long history of serving
people at the margins…. At the same time, however, an older problem has
been intensified. The modern self’s blindness to the other as part of the self
has led to an increasing perception of charity as a one-way street, something
that originates with the charitable self and leads to handouts for those in
need…. Fresh encounters with people on the underside of history introduce a
critical change. In solidarity with the marginalized, the modern one-way street
gradually begins to bear traffic in both directions.
