“(Orwell once said that “we could do with a little less talk of ‘capitalist’ and ‘proletarian’ and a little more about the robbers and the robbed.”)”
― Matthew Desmond, Poverty, by America

“Being poor,” they write, “reduces a person’s cognitive capacity more than going a full night without sleep.” When we are preoccupied by poverty, “we have less mind to give to the rest of life.” Poverty does not just deprive people of security and comfort; it siphons off their brainpower, too.[19]”
― Matthew Desmond, Poverty, by America

“Second, we prioritize the subsidization of affluence over the alleviation of poverty.”
― Matthew Desmond, Poverty, by America

“We believe evangelism is more relational than confrontational, more communal than solitary, and is more a beginning point than an end. Evangelism involves not only sharing our faith with others, but also welcoming them into a community and enabling them to begin to grow in their faith. Above all evangelism is about love: God’s love for us in Jesus, our love for our neighbor, and the invitation to receive and grow in a new life that is characterized by love.”
― Hal Knight, Transforming Evangelism, The Wesleyan Way of Sharing Faith
