Ghettos of Affluence

2 February 2008 No Comment

“Our children need to join us in this ministry of identification (with
the poor). We do them no favor by hiding them from suffering and need.
If we imprison them in ghettos of affluence, how can they learn
compassion for the broken of the world? So, let us walk hand in hand
with our children into pockets of misery and suffering.” -Richard Foster in Freedom of Simplicity
