On being a fanatic....

DateFriday, May 22, 2009 at 1:33PM

Here are two quotes (one from an activist, one from the Bible) that have challenged me today!


If to be feelingly alive to the sufferings of my fellow-creatures is to be a fanatic, I am one of the most incurable fanatics ever permitted to be at large. - William Wilberforce,

(British abolitionist and social reformer. 1759-1833)

Since there will never cease to be some in need on the earth, I therefore command you, "Open your hand to the poor and needy neighbor in your land." - Deuteronomy 15:11
