The Bible speaks to today’s issues Poverty • A “bias for the poor” comes through in particular passages – Ps 82: 3 - defend the weak, Is 61: 1 - good news to the poor, – Amos 5: 11 - you trample on the poor – Mt 19: 21 - sell your possessions and give to the poor • and in the larger biblical stories – in the OT the small and persecuted nation of Israel is rescued from rich and powerful Egypt – in the NT God's Son mixes with 'sinners' and the marginalised of society throughout his ministry © Diocese of Guildford 2011 Bible in Conflict

The Bible speaks to today’s issues Poverty continued discussion • Does giving money shelter us from direct action? • Are ‘the poor’ seen as in the developing world or in our own streets? • How can/does ‘my church’ get engaged? • What about me? • Is the Micah challenge about BIG issues or about daily living?
