I too am passionate about the dignity of those in need – why should they (or anyone) be stigmatised? I hope that, as our church-based community develops its own activities and facilities, we will see that not all offerings come in the form of money, goods or even seedlings – and that some of those who come to us in need will find that they are able to share other gifts (time, listening, ideas, tea-making etc). I truly believe that there is an intrinsic value to every human that God has created and that this deserves to be recognised not through what they can give / swap or what they can do but just by being existing. Hopefully, their labels will begin to fall off as they enter into conversation with others.
