“The clash between the individual gospel and the social gospel leaves me cold. An individual gospel is a soul without a body, and a social gospel without an individual gospel is a body without a soul. One is a ghost and the other is a corpse. Put the two together and you have a living person.66”

“Powerlessness is the captivity of the poor within god-complexes created by the non-poor, built into structures and systems, shaped by the spiritual interiority within the power cluster.”

“Poverty is not about numbers. It is about inequality, and specifically about inequality in power relationships. It is about a minority, ‘less numerous, [who] performs all political functions, monopolizes power and enjoys the advantages that power brings.’15”
