I told the story of the Good Samaritan in response to the question, ‘who is my neighbor’. Have you ever gone to a church where all the members refer to one another as brother or sister, as a title? This is a routine practice in some churches, but those who attend them tend to reserve this practice for each other, and do not extend it to other churches, let alone beyond that. Would you agree that the question of ‘who is my brother’ raises the ‘who is my neighbor’ question to the next level? The lesson of the Good Samaritan story is that everyone is your neighbor, even those you would otherwise reject. You have my permission to treat everyone you meet as your brother, whether you call them that or not.
