Perspective on Poverty

Poverty - Perspective

A quote taken from a blog following the controversial lambeth conference in 2008... from a member of the Salvation Army who attended:

"I was thoroughly enjoying myself, the food and the lovely ice cream, and feeling rather pleased with myself when I met a bishop from the Sudan. Looking sad and unhappy he went on to tell me he had never seen so much food before, it would help feed his starving people.

I still can't get this out of my head. This bishop has made a deep impact on me. His villages are full of people dying from malaria and other preventable diseases, they do not have enough to eat or drink, and we live in such luxury and plenty."
