WWJD? The Religious Argument for Community Involvement

02 min 37 sec

Add to Profile

Louise Burnham Packard, executive director of the Trinity Boston Foundation, discusses the resistance she's encountered in promoting social programs within a religious community. She explains that while Jesus' message about helping the poor often "gets pushed aside," in the end it's "divine love" that encourages her to help the less fortunate.

Encyclopædia Britannica Article

Episcopal Church, USA: Descendant of the Church of England in the U.S. Part of the Anglican Communion, it was formally organized in 1789 as the successor of the Church of England in the former British colonies. The church accepts both the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed, as well as a modified version of the Thirty-nine Articles of the Church of England. The highest authority in the church is the General Convention, which is headed by the presiding bishop (elected by the House of Bishops). The Reformed Episcopal Church broke away from the main body in 1873. The church accepted the ordination of women in 1976. In 1988 the church elected its first woman bishop, and in 2003 an openly gay man was consecrated bishop of New Hampshire. These steps generated controversy within the church as well as among other churches of the Anglican Communion.; Episcopal Church, USA on britannica.com
