"…Remove gift and gratitude from human society, and what remains is not a community but a "lonely crowd," in the famous words of the sociologist David Riesman…"
This week, I am reading various quotes from Being Generous by Theodore Roosevelt Malloch, published in 2009.
Reflection questions:
- Have you ever considered if some of the donors to your missions are giving because of that idea of community and dependency? Seeking to acknowledge that we are interdependent on each other?
- What risks will you take this week in building relationships with donors?
