The third annual "Faith In Action Sunday," which challenges churches to literally close their doors on a Sunday morning and go out and serve their communities, will occur this year on Oct. 11.
"Faith in Action Sunday" was developed by a World Vision, Zondervan, and Outreach, Inc. in 2007 to encourage churches, ministries and small groups to serve and meet practical needs in their local communities.
Though this organization tends to be theologically and politically conservative and traditional in their approach, programs such as "Faith in Action Sunday" are evidence that many conservative Christian groups recognize Jesus' message of cultivating wider communal well-being and are dedicated to promoting social action. This is certainly a point at which both these conservative groups and more progressive religious groups can meet, dialogue, and work together to create a more peaceful and contented world.
I encourage all Unity congregations to participate in this year's "Faith in Action Sunday" and go out into our communities to work for love, peace, and justice.
