Though, I do struggle that people of faith are so disconnected from the vulnerable that you have to constantly present this combination of information to build understanding. We must encourage people of faith to incorporate vulnerable people groups into their everyday lifestyles to regain real life head and heart connections around systemic issues. Everyone can do that in some way. Meritocracy is not the answer for those who have not had basic care and support in their formative years; or, for those who have experienced trauma. We have to become people of faith that do more than participate in the easy check-off of service days or check writing, though those are important, too.<br /><br />I also appreciated Alderman Scott Waguespack's public statement around this verdict. He is a north side alderman who gets that we are in need of much systemic reform in both our city and nation. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00309576890336865033noreply@blogger.com
