Food for our Minds and Spirits: The Effective Samaritan

Sometimes it is helpful to hear an old story in a new way. A friend of mine recently shared this retelling of the Good Samaritan parable with me, and I appreciated the thought provoking way it reframed the story. The interesting part to me is how the way that people talk about giving, charity, care for one another is put in the foreground here. But the central question from the old story is the same: what does it mean to be a neighbor to someone else, someone in need?
