Thanks Barry for a fascinating, and compelling look at the Relief Bus, The Bowery Mission, Homelessness, the love of Christ poured out through others in the form of little cups of soup, and the people places and things that are all a part of NYC (and really any city USA) that we so rarely see. Thank you for helping us see, and feel and care and hopefully act. Thanks for the gentle invitation to have the courage to live into our faith with action. I was reading in James last night, and then this morning when I got up and saw these photos I was reminded of James 1 :14-17. Particularly James 1: 17.
You are never the same after having just one of the experiences you have described. The term wrecked intimidates some, so I will use the term molded…you become molded, changed from the inside.
Thank you again for this series.
