Service is Never Simple – The Work of Outreach at St. John’s Kitchen

Perhaps like many an angsty young adult, I was once enamored with the idea of revolution — Rage Against the Machine was a staple of my music collection.
Believin’ all the lies that they’re tellin’ ya
Buyin’ all the products that they’re sellin’ ya
They say jump and you say how high?
You’re brain dead
You got a bullet in your head
There have been times in my life when I was drawn to the idea of tearing down systems. Shouting “cus the man!” and all that felt good. While I still get a kick out of this kind of music and am encouraged to see people standing up to challenge the system, I now think that if rage is not rooted in relationships it is empty.
