Pastor Dave Risendal talks about health care as a social responsibility, during the National Single Payer Day of Action (May 30, 2009) in Denver, CO -- cosponsored by Health Care for All Colorado and ArapaHOPE Community Team.
Speaking to a Saturday morning crowd of over 250 people on the steps of the Colorado State Capitol, Pastor Risendal delivers a moving call to action for the entire community. Speaking on character, Risendal states:
"The character of a community is revealed by how its most fortunate members reach out beyond themselves and make a difference in the lives of the most vulnerable ones among them."
"The character of a community is revealed by how it extends itself for the well being of all, even in perhaps especially in the most challenging of times."
"The character of a community is revealed by its members capacity to take an interest in one another, and learn to depend on one another."
"But we will never experience the depth and the meaning that community can provide, until we do everything we can to care for one another until we realize that if any one of us is unwell, we are all unwell."
"May the character of our community reveal that we are a people of courage and hope and integrity, who insist that in terms of medical care, nobody is left behind."
