Love is the only Law … (06/27/11)

“Layers of insulation keep the rich and the poor from truly encountering one another. There are the obvious layers like picket fences & SUVs, and there are the more subtle ones like charity … It is a beautiful thing when folks in poverty are no longer just a mission project, but become genuine friends and family with whom we laugh, cry, dream and struggle.” ~ Shane Claiborne

“There is nothing wrong with a law that says you have to stop for a red light. But when a man is bleeding to death, the ambulance goes through that red light at top speed … Disinherited people all over the world are bleeding to death from deep social wounds. And they need brigades of ambulance drivers to ignore the red lights of the present system until their emergency is solved.” ~ MLK, Jr.
