Our vision and inspiration behind this organisation is a strong belief in the God we serve and the wish to put our Orthodox Christian values into action, for the benefit of others. We believe that the caring of the poor is our social and Christian duty as evidenced by St John Chrysostom “The rich man is not one who has much but one who gives much.” Social consideration for others less fortunate does not just mean distributing material goods, but also social inclusion. Jesus was inclusive of people from all aspects of society, whether they be rich, poor, sick, prostitutes or tax collectors. We are taught in the bible the universal truth of God’s great love and Jesus showed us the living example of this love and unconditional acceptance regardless of social position or wealth. This is something we Christians need to follow, as it the core directive given from God, “To love your God with all your heart and love other people as you love yourself” (Matthew 22:37 ) We at The Daily Bread follow the calling of Jesus Christ to look after the homeless and vulnerable people in our community.
