Richard Showalter’s “Disciples Rich and Poor” (World Neighbors, Feb. 27) raises perhaps the most important dilemma of Christian discipleship: disparity of wealth. If it is indeed our call to live like a global family, we have work to do. This is something Ken Fellenbaum appears to miss (Letters & Comments, March 27) as he urges us to practice New Testament Christianity but negates white privilege as secular verbiage.

I appreciate MWR and the diversity of opinions expressed. I come away from reading it with the feeling that I am not alone in my faith journey. We need your writers to balance our tendency to get sidetracked by our need to protect our purity, possessions and privilege.
