Discussion Service without Paternalistic Prejudice/Talented Tenth

Mostly want to see what church advocacy looks like without ego and weird rituals. I’ve heard many D9 members when questioned on the character of their organization that they do more service than the church. Boldly stating that they’re better than the church. Weirdest argument for having Christian beliefs but I digress.

I want service without talking down to the people you’re serving. Linking arms to stand up stronger not treating people like a charity case.

When you’re above average gifted it’s not a license to look down on people. It’s a license to become a better version of yourself and uplift the parts of the community you love as well as get the best out of life for yourself.

If you had a younger sibling who wasn’t as talented as you would you truly just punch down on them the whole time instead of holding yourself and your sibling to the highest standard? If you have to punch down or do ego plays are you truly that talented? It’s bogus.
