Living as incarnational people among our neighbors, including those who are very different than we are and those on the margins, embodies a sense of mutuality. Incarnational people don't "help" others - they identify with them. Incarnational people don't consider what others deserve - they extend dignity and respect to them simply on the basis of our shared image-bearing of God. Incarnational people remember the words of Desmond Tutu, "If I diminish you ... I diminish myself." And so they live in a manner that is relationally present and open to all they come in contact with.
