2 The cause of most of the problems in the world is because we forget we belong to each other.
Desmond Tutu We are not to simply bandage the wounds between the wheels of injustice, but we are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself. Dietrich Bonhoeffer

3 I admire the good Samaritan, but I don’t want to spend my life picking up people at the side of the road after they have been beaten up and robbed. I want to change the Jericho Road, so that everybody has an opportunity for a job, education, security and healthcare. Martin Luther King.

4 ‘He has brought down the powerful from their thrones and lifted up the lowly, he has filled the hungry with good things and sent the rich away empty.’ Luke 1 v52, 53 ‘the time is fulfilled and the Kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news.’ Mark 1 v15

5 ‘the spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free and to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.’ Luke

6 Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts. As we also have forgiven our debtors. And do not bring us to the time of trial, but rescue us from the evil one.

‘faith is a highly political thing. At the corner of all we believe as Christians is the incarnation – the participation of God in the affairs of this world.
