“Loading up a depressed neighborhood with services-faith-based or otherwise- does nothing to reverse that downward siral. As a matter of fact, concentrating social servicse can actually draw more needy recipients into an area-hardly a good community-development strategy.” pg.90

“Compassion, Justice and the Christian Life” by Robert Lupton
