'In the church, we know that we should care for the weak, but so often we seek to do so as the strong, the capable ones, the copers, those who have their stuff sorted. Strong people care for weak ones, after all.
The Lord's way is different. It is to bring the weak ones together to care for one another. This is not nearly so attractive to us. For those of us who like to be dependable, it is challenging to think we might need to depend on others.'
John Hindley, Weakness Our Strength: Learning from Christ Crucified, p.39.
