Who are my Samaritans?

Luke 9:51-62

The question was "Who is my neighbour?" The answer, was not given but instead a story was told. Answer your own question my friend.
Today is one of the other Samaritan references. The one which exemplifies the lack of a loving relationship between the Jews and the Samaritans. The one which shows distrust and hatred on both sides.
The juxtaposition of these two readings in my life and last night's sermon by Toby Howarth prompt me to ask "Who are my Samaritans?". Who are the people for whom I have an innate distrust? Now what do I do?
