I did not say that many of the average members would simply act as this leading one did. But in Dallas, it was kind of made a point that it was not our job. Let the Methodists and Lutherans and Catholics do that. Let the soup kitchen take care of him. That kind of thing is "too low."
And, unfortunately, there are many evangelical groups that have somewhat taken the same kind of thought (maybe not as harshly) in the past. And so many of them are changing. And maybe the LRC did as well after I left. But there was the implication where I attended that you only really cared for the "brothers" and that meant the brothers and sisters who were meeting in the LRC.

Fast forward 25 years: As a kid in the 90's I learned that
we aren't here for that.
But hey, maybe they've changed since I left.
