"People do not want to be projects. The poor need a welcome to replace their marginalisation; they need inclusion to replace their exclusion; they need a place where they matter to replace their powerlessness. They need Christian community. The Christian community is more than a community in which the rich help the poor. It is a community in which broken people saved by grace struggle together to demonstrate to a lost world the liberating reality of Christ's loving rule. The proud have no place in this community because they do not recognise themselves as broken people."
