Ten Questions with Richard Stearns

Today's notable News and Notes is an interview with Richard Stearns, president of World Vision, the Christian relief and development organization. The interview appeared in Guy Kawasaki's blog, "How to Change the World."

"Today, we live in a world that tolerates extreme poverty much like racism was tolerated fifty-plus years ago. We can all become people determined to do something to change the world. We can speak up, we can volunteer and we can give. Ending extreme poverty will take money, political and moral will, and a shift in our value system. When enough ordinary people embrace these issues, things will begin to change."

I don't mean to point the finger anywhere but at myself. I have a lot of work to do in my life to come to the place where I truly believe this and act on it.
