ABU (Intervarsity) 2016 Panning Meeting at Narnia
In discussing love and giving, C.S. Lewis implicitly engages the practice of empowerment and writes:
“The proper aim of giving is to put the recipient in a state where he no longer needs our gift. We feed children in order that they may soon be able to feed themselves; we teach them in order that they may soon not need our teaching.”
“Thus a heavy task is laid upon the Gift-love. It must work towards its own abdication. We must aim at making ourselves superfluous. The hour when we can say ‘They need me no longer’ should be our reward.”
