I don't preach a social gospel; I preach the Gospel, period. The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is concerned for the whole person. When people were hungry, Jesus didn't say, "Now is that political or social?" He said, "I feed you." Because the good news to a hungry person is bread.

I really like the spirit expressed in this quote from Bishop Desmond Tutu. In saying there's not a "social gospel" separable from the gospel itself, this African bishop sounds positively Celtic.
