The team would like to share a statement by Bishop Tutu.

 

 

 

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice,

                        you have chosen the side of the oppressor.

                    If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse,

                                          and you say that you are neutral,

                                 the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality”.

 

 

 

 

 

“How easy and safe it could be for us in the face of monumental injustice to lose hope, or to merely minister to the mouse in his/her pain and accept the elephant as he/she is and will always be! But our call as Christians challenges us to speak out and act on behalf on the oppressed – to name the injustice for the sin it is, to work to both empower the mouse and move the elephant. Where do we see the mouse and elephant in our lives, in our church, in our country and our world?”    Lorraine  De Febbo, OSF
