Public policy T-shirt

On sale at this week's Central/Southern Illinois Lutheran Synod meeting was a black-on-yellow T-shirt promoting the www.lutheranadvocacy.org website. On the back it displays the following:

A Six-Point Plan for Effective Public Policy:

1. When I was hungry, you gave me something to eat;
   
2. When I was thirsty, you gave me something to drink;
   
3. When I was a stranger, you welcomed me;
   
4. When I was naked, you clothed me;
   
5. When I was sick, you comforted me;
   
6. When I was in prison, you visited me.

Truly I tell you, just as you do this for the least of my brothers and sisters, you do this for me.
-- Matthew 25
