Alexia Salvatierra and Peter Heltzel explore how we can live out the biblical virtue of solidarity: 

While recognising the value of every vantage point, faith-rooted community organising also understands that a fair hearing of differing perspectives is necessary for truth to emerge. Fair hearings for those with low social status are hard to come by, however. In contrast to a society that gives inordinate weight to the perspective of those with more social status, we read in 1 Corinthians 1 that “God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose…
