Making charity unnecessary...

Luke 12:48:  "The Parable of the Wise Steward"

"...Privilege brings responsibility and that responsibility entails accountability," J. Dwight Pentecost.

"...Charity is no longer the opium of the privileged when we humbly allow ourselves to be transformed by those to whom we offer assistance...," Laurie Haller, "When Charity Becomes Unnecessary."

                                                                                 

Achebe’s first novel Things Fall Apart was "a masterful riposte that reminded the world of Africa’s irreplaceable heritage. It was one of the first African novels in English to receive international acclaim, inspiring not only the Nigerian literary renaissance of the 1960s but decades of African writers who followed. It is often cited as the most popular book in modern African literature."
