I'm hesitant here to quote anyone from the Bible1 because recently when I mentioned a saying of Jesus someone objected that he had never run anything in his life. The same's true of St Paul. But writing to the well-off in the city of Corinth about helping2 the poor in Jerusalem, Paul said, It's a question of a fair balance between your abundance3 and their need, as it is written 'the one who had much did not have too much, and the one who had little did not have too little.On this programme I've listened to debates about fairness. They always seem pretty inconclusive. Some might say that it's all relative. And maybe they're right for it's in the relationship between abundance and poverty that fairness is to be found. It's only when we come face to face with other people's need that we then know when we have too much. So let the creators of wealth walk the streets of the poor in search of that fair balance. Perhaps that's what Lord4 Heseltine was looking for when he walked the streets of Toxteth.
