Being thrown out of this place is significantly better than being thrown out of a leper colony.
Whatever I had read as a child about the saints had thrilled me. I could see the nobility of giving one's life for the sick, the maimed, the leper. But there was another question in my mind.

Where were the saints to try to change the social order, not just to minister to the slaves, but to do away with slavery?
