On the one hand we are called to play the good Samaritan on life's roadside; but that will be only an initial act.

True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it is not haphazard and superficial. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring. "A Time to Break Silence," at Riverside Church
