When Helping Actually Hurts
What if the way we've been trying to help poor communities has been backwards all along? Picture a Methodist pastor arriving in a declining Indianapolis neighborhood in 1986, armed with all the right credentials and good intentions, ready to save people who desperately need saving. That was Michael Mather at Broadway United Methodist Church-the self-described "hoodlum priest" assigned to street ministry. He saw what everyone trained in social services sees: broken windows, economic distress, people who needed fixing. He was the hero; they were the helpless. But then seventeen-year-old Seana Murphy grabbed a broom and pushed away a knife-wielding woman threatening another girl outside the church, praying the whole time. Years later, that same woman became a good mother with a steady job. This intersection of violence and beauty forced a haunting question: What if these "needy" people weren't actually powerless at all?
