Answering to That of God in Everyone

Today I heard a powerful message from Bishop Kevin Dowling, Co-President of Pax Christi International. He shared that in partnering with those in need, in order to build a foundation for sustainable change we must both share our gifts and reflect theirs back to them. What a beautiful idea - the difference we can make by shining someone's light back on them. It helps me to understand the idea of ministry of presence that I learned earlier this year. It also seems to me very similar to George Fox's idea of "walk[ing] cheerfully over the earth answering to that of God in everyone."
