Hi! Bill Moyer talking of John Wesley –
the founder of Methodism - in a speech. As you know, my direction is justice
rather than charity. “I
don’t think philanthropy has had a more compelling mandate than John
Wesley’s. It was his inspiration to see that while charity may be good
for the soul, justice is the salvation of society. Social justice became his
great passion, the moral purpose of his calling.” Justice is indeed the salvation of society but, I would
argue, social justice is not. Bill was talking from the point of view of philanthropy, so
charity was his keynote. I think however that Wesley was right. While charity
may bind their wounds, justice would make the body whole. Harry ******************************** of 818 352-4141 ******************************** |
