The Untouchables?

This follows on from last week’s message.

In India there is a Caste system that divides people based on their social status. The lowest are called the Dalits.

These people had become known as the untouchables, considered lower than the animals. Jesus made a point of – not only meeting people such as the lepers – but touching them. If we’re honest we can probably name the types of people we would consider too unclean to touch. Are we willing to change this?
