Michael Hercock has worked for churches and other bodies in the social services sector for years. He has some strong opinions about how that sector often lacks understanding of the people they’re trying to help.

“There are good people who are dealt a bad hand by fate, and bad people who live long, comfortable, privileged lives. A small twist of fate can save or end a life; random chance is a permanent, powerful player in each of our lives, and in human history as well.” 

– Jeff Greenfield – American Journalist

“The only thing that saves us from the bureaucracy is its inefficiency.” 

– Eugene McCarthy – American Politician
