Charity vs. Justice. July 31, 2009. Posted by mettamentors in Blog. Matt Johnson, 2009 mentee with Fellowship of Reconciliation. Wrote this blog post about the mentees’ service day at St. Anthony’s. Is it smiling at a frown to induce it to turn upside down? Is it washing a poor man’s feet? Perhaps picking a stranger up off the ground? What if the man engaging in the service thought he might volunteer at a women’s shelter in order to impress his girlfriend? Clearly the intention is important. 2010 –...
