I have experienced the loneliness of otherness and exclusion so I don't want to do that to anyone -but it requires a great effort from me at times .<br />I remember at the homeless shelter training a man from Housing Justice saying -if u looked in churches it might appear church was only for the smart and the clean -how can we be inclusive not exclusive in all aspects of our lives ? whatever religion we profess or not ?<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
