Are you familiar with the story of the sheep and the goats? In this story you want to identify with the sheep, and the only deciding criteria is how you treat the least of these. In the story this is treated as an individual choice. Is this concept scalable? Can your church band together and assist the least of these in a unified, coordinated effort? Is your involvement in such an effort enough to make you a sheep? What about your government? If your government has programs to assist the poor and you pay your taxes, is that sufficient to make you a sheep? What is your part in this? How direct or indirect does your action need to be? For the story implies direct action.
