What the Good Samaritan Did NOT Do

If you grew up in a Christian church or currently attend one, chances are that you’ve heard of the Good Samaritan in the Bible. If you haven’t heard it, you can read it here in Luke 10:30-37. This story has been foundational in my life and profession. I can’t think of another story in the Bible that provides a better framework for public health professionals than this. I also appreciate how direct and clear the lessons are as we learn to define who our neighbors are so we can love our them as ourselves.
