Cornerstone Church Organizes "One Day Without Shoes"

Posted by: Noël Jones

Jason Burson, Pastor of Cornerstone Church on College Hill, sent me this video of a creative project called One Day Without Shoes, an event they organized to raise awareness of poverty in the world. Check it out!

I remember when I was in college, we had an event like this, but instead of walking a day without shoes, all participating students gathered for a dinner, and drew a number, and ate the dinner that corresponded to the number. Most of us ended up sitting on the floor eating a bowl of rice, while a small group got cafeteria-style fare, and a select few got to sit at a table with a white tablecloth where they were catered to and served fine food. The numbers, of course were devised mathematically to represent the percentages of people in the world who live below the poverty line, in the middle class, and among the wealthy elite in our world. It was an eye-opening experience, to say the least.
