Abstract

This article examines the theological basis for the church's responsibility to care for the poor. It does this by analysing a sermon of John Chrysostom in which the concept of three altars is appealed to; the third altar being the altar of the poor. It concludes that for the church of Jesus Christ to be a church it has to be orientated outwards to the poor and marginalised.
