One of my favorite faith stories is about an American Christian minister stationed in Europe during World War II. His congregation sends him money so that he can come home for Christmas, and he uses that money to help a group of European Jews flee from Hitler's death camps to safety.
One of his congregants writes him an angry letter, scolds him for not using the money for its intended purpose, and ends with the exasperated line: "The people you saved weren't even Christian."
"Yes," wrote back the minister, "but I am."
