This is a question that never gets tired or old. It is a question no less valid today as the world gets smaller and we can find out what is going on in far flung countries. Who is my neighbour? Does my heart grow bigger as my horizons do, or does it grow small and hard when I am called upon to care in a costly way? It is a question no less valid today at a time of austerity and belt tightening when it is all too easy to "take care of our own" first and just give our leftovers to others. Jesus' story of the Good Samaritan may be heart warming in its familiarity but there is a heart warning for us too. We are called upon to love in unexpected ways, to see our neighbour as an unexpected person. Spend some time thinking about what this means for you and your faith today.
As ever the team have come up with some beautiful interpretations of the challenge for this fortnight. Why not visit their own blogs and find out more about their thought, inspiration and how they put their art together?
