E.g. Love your neighbour. Or “treat others as you wish to be treated.”

  4. Why did charity begin? • No existing Welfare Service. • Poor living conditions exacerbated by increasing population. • Fewer resources available to all. • Individuals whose families were unable or unwilling to care for them if they were young, sick, elderly, or disabled.
