I got this from the site Gutless Pacifist:


John Stott writes about the ‘do-nothing church’ in his book Issues Facing Christians Today...


I was hungry ... and you formed a humanities group to discuss my hunger. I was imprisoned, ... and you crept off quietly to your chapel and prayed for my release. I was naked, ... and in your mind you debated the morality of my appearance. I was sick, ... and you knelt and thanked God for your health. I was homeless, ... and you preached to me of the spiritual shelter of the love of God. I was lonely ... and you left me alone to pray for me. You seem so holy, so close to God ... but I am still very hungry - and lonely - and cold.
