"The goal for Christians should be not the elimination of poverty—Jesus said that is futile, anyway—but actually to encourage more of it."

@ntnsndr I'm uncomfortable with the words in this article, but there's a passage in the New Testament (Act 4: 32-35) that says that the apostles gave everything but the essentials to live together. If that's what poverty is, then we're in the same boat. Chosen poverty (simplicity, frugality, collectivity?) is very different from subjected poverty.
