Joe’s Quotes

“Poverty mars the identity of the poor and hurts the soul of all involved.”
― Jayakumar Christian, God of the Empty-Handed: Poverty, Power and the Kingdom of God

“Too often the price exacted by society for security and respectability is that the Christian movement in its formal expression must be on the side of the strong against the weak.”
― Howard Thurman, Jesus and the Disinherited

“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”
― Jayakumar Christian, God of the Empty-Handed: Poverty, Power and the Kingdom of God

“It cannot be denied that too often the weight of the Christian movement has been on the side of the strong and the powerful and against the weak and oppressed—this, despite the gospel.”
― Howard Thurman, Jesus and the Disinherited

“Powerlessness is a spiritual disease, the scars of which can be seen on the will and identity of the poor. Principalities and powers play a crucial role in intensifying the powerlessness imposed by society on the poor by reinforcing the oppression and internalising it within poor communities and cultures.”
― Jayakumar Christian, God of the Empty-Handed: Poverty, Power and the Kingdom of God
