"...the paradox of generosity also seems to entail this relevant truth: generosity cannot be faked in order to achieve some other, more valued, self-serving end. Generosity itself needs to be desired..."
This week, I’m reading a quote from The Paradox of Generosity by Christian Smith and Hilary Davidson. 2014 edition.
Reflection questions:
- Are any of our fundraising activities and messaging encouraging self-interested, fake generosity? If so, how can we tweak them to reflect authentic generosity?
- How can we share the stories of genuine generosity with our community?
