| Summary: | Steeped in an ethic of human compassion, Frankie Lindor interns at a church that provides social services to the homeless and near-homeless. Resources are always outstripped by demand, and this can cause stress on the part of workers as well as for the men and women requiring their aid. Frankie finds that it is not always easy to implement an ethic of human compassion in this environment--especially when that ethic demands (a) valuing every individual equally; (b) taking deliberate actions guided by one's own moral compass; and (c) demonstrating integrity when serving each man and woman. On one rainy and cold day, Frankie found himself struggling with a homeless man over a loaf of bread. The lesson learned by the homeless man may have been profound, but no more profound than the lesson learned by Frankie Lindor. |
