I tell people to go back to the gospel. Look at who Jesus hung out with: lepers, prostitutes, thieves — the throwaways of his day. If we call ourselves Jesus' disciples, we too have to keep ministering to the marginated, the throwaways, the lepers of today. And there are no more marginated, thrown-away, and leprous people in our society than death-row inmates.
