Christian Social Witness (New Church's Teaching Series) Quotes

“Christian social witness is not a mere footnote to these foundations of our faith, but is an outgrowth of them. It is faith in action. It is what we do as a consequence of what we believe. The church, sometimes corporately and officially, sometimes through the actions of its individual members, makes choices, takes stands, and speaks out on issues affecting both its own life and the life of the society of which it is a constituent part. It does so because it is guided by its theology, by its understanding of scripture, and by its life of prayer. A church that makes no social witness is unimaginable because such witness is part and parcel of our job description as church.”
― Harold T. Lewis, Christian Social Witness
