Salt Bank v. Salt Shaker
23 January 2008 by Mandy Sayers.
Today’s keynote was Rev. Gary Mason, a Methodist pastor, who is doing some amazing work in Ireland at the North Belfast Mission. John and Brian heard a workshop he gave and I hope they will blog here about it. He said the Church, called to be salt, often keeps that salt in a fortress, a church building, when we are called to pour salt in the street, in the community. His organization has 5 staff that work in it, and 55 staff that work in the community, promoting reconciliation and building the Kingdom of God. His work in improving the lives of folks in poverty and his restorative justice work is amazing. I’m humbled.
