Quote for Reflection (Sunday, August 22, 2021)

“The church exists, stated Bishop Alfred Reid, to point men and women to the source of true life and the fountain of living water. Though its core mission cannot be limited to the social sphere, the church…cannot avoid being involved with politics, in the sense that there are sound biblical and theological teachings that support the struggle for justice in all its dimensions. What it can avoid is the temptation to add its name to the list of yet another political movement.”
