Passage of the Day - February 19, 2013

James 1:27

 Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

Part of the driving force behind me wanting to become part of the Anglican Communion was to be a part of a larger network of Christians that embrace the call of social justice.  I believed that there would be better opportunities to make a real impact in Russian Orphan Care and the fight against human/sex trafficking through the Anglican Communion.  We know, now, that unless things change within the Anglican Communion, this won’t be the route my family will take.

The question is do we get involved as missionaries, advocates, adopters, ambassadors, financiers, or simply prayer partners?

I feel, now, that I am at a loss, or in a holding pattern, on what to do in this regard.  I hope to hammer this out, but I’m sure this will be a longer process that will go beyond the time that I will discuss it on Passage of the Day.

Overall, I request prayer in this regard.
