Samaritan Woman

Jesus’s encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well is a paradigmatic text for the Church, showing new possibilities for how the Church can engage the world, specifically engagement through invitational conversation and acts of charity at modern-day community wells. A Place at the Table is a pay-what-you-can café in Raleigh, North Carolina. Patrons can pay the suggested price, less than the suggested price, redeem a token worth the cost of a meal, or pay by volunteering at the café. Patrons who are able to “pay it forward” can further support the mission by tipping or buying meal tokens for others. At this café, a space reminiscent of an ancient “community well,” thirsty travelers receive the life-giving waters of acceptance, connection, and sustenance. The custom of hospitality is a life-giving and transformational practice for the Church, a viable and tangible way to connect with its neighbor and draw all persons into the experience of God’s love.

Eastern North Carolina

A telemedicine service was established between the East Carolina University (ECU) School of Medicine in Greenville and the Central Prison in Raleigh, about 160 km away. Based on the first two years' experience of providing a prison telemedicine service, a medical education network was set up, linking the School of Medicine to health institutions in Ahoskie, approximately 160 km away, and Jacksonville, approximately 145 km away. At about the same time, a telemedicine network was installed linking the ECU to two rural hospitals, the Roanoke-Chowan Hospital in Ahoskie, and the Martin General Hospital in Williamston, both approximately 75 km away. Although it was a demonstration project, the prison telemedicine service was thought to be cost-effective. The cost of transporting a patient from prison for medical care was estimated to be $700. In comparison, a telemedicine consultation cost about $70, excluding the equipment and network costs. During the first 33 months of operation there were over 400 telemedicine consultations carried out in eastern North Carolina. The majority were dermatology consultations, with neurology and gastroenterology being next most frequent.

Healthy Food Access

In the Southern United States (U.S.), food insecurity rates are higher in rural (20.8%) versus urban communities (15%). Food insecurity can exacerbate diet-related disease. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine differences in the use of food-related community resources and potential solutions proposed among food insecure versus food secure residents. A community survey (n = 370) was conducted in rural eastern North Carolina, with questions pertaining to food security status and food-related resources. The IBM SPSS Statistics software and SAS software were used to examine differences in food-related resources, and qualitative data analysis was used to examine differences in solutions offered between food insecure and food secure participants. Of the 370 respondents, forty-eight-point-six percent were classified as food insecure. Food insecure participants were more likely to report shopping for groceries at a convenience/discount store, less likely to use their own vehicle for transportation, and less likely to purchase food from local producers. Food insecure participants were more likely to suggest solutions related to reducing the cost of healthy food, while food secure participants were more likely to suggest educational or convenience-related interventions.
