Christ Church CONVERSATIONS

Episode 27 : Our Call to Help the Stranger

Christ Episcopal Church in Columbia, MD

"When Christ tells us to love our neighbor, when he tells the parable of the Good Samaritan helping the stranger, he does not say that it will be easy, or quick, or painless, or without problems. What He tells us is that this is what we are supposed to do and that in doing so, we are loving Him. Here at Christ Church, we really try to live into these commandments in all sorts of ways – the Refugee Ministry is just one - and all are worthy."  

Parishioner Ann Barnes shares an update on our Refugee Ministry and its incredible three-year journey from a parish outreach ministry to an organization actively supported by six local congregations of different faiths - and currently assisting multiple refugee families.
