What Christians Can Learn From (And Bring To) Mutual Aid
October 31, 2021 | By Shayley Martin DC ‘22
More and more nonprofits are questioning the charity model because it suggests a big power imbalance: wealthy donors versus poor recipients. Since charities rely on donors, they have to guard against valuing donors’ interests more highly than the needs of the people they want to help.
And they don’t always succeed.
Pursuing Justice as the Justified
Dec 10, 2017 | By Christopher Kim '19
The New Haven Green was designed by Puritan colonists in the 17th century as the center of life for their settlement in New Haven. Over the years, it has cemented its place in history as a site of deep historic, political, and cultural significance, from presidential addresses delivered to protests held during the American civil rights movement and Vietnam War. However, the uncomfortable truth today is that the Green is symbolic of New Haven’s staggering poverty rate and the ever-increasing disconnect between Yalies and New Haven residents.
Imago Dei
Sept. 2, 2016 | By Grace Niewijk GH ‘18
When Jesus was on earth, he spent time with those whom society ignored and considered worthless. Prostitutes, lepers, widows and orphans; sinners, the sick, and the small from every walk of life. He looked at the least of these, called them worthy, and told them that he had come for their sakes.
