CONTRIBUTIONS OF RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS
"Religious communities are the largest and
best-organized civil institutions in the world, claiming
the allegiance of billions across race, class, and
national divides. These communities have particular
cultural understandings, infrastructures, and resources
to get help where it is needed most" (World
Conference of Religions for Peace).
Southwest Washington has a broad range of religious
communities that contribute substantially to the welfare
of families, children, seniors, the homeless, sick, and
refugees. They are a highly valued part of our
community which respects and defends human life at every
stage. Are you an active member in a church,
synagogue, temple, mosque or other religious assembly?
We believe in the Truth of the Bible and are actively
seeking to apply its teachings to our life.
If so, you may state here where at:
We attend Ridgefield Nazarene the most.
FAITH-BASED AND NEIGHBORHOOD PARTNERSHIPS
The White House's Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood
Partnerships ensures that religious and other community
organizations are able to compete on an equal footing
for participation in Federal programs without impairing
the character of such organizations and without
diminishing the religious freedom of those served.
Does the collaboration of government with faith-based
charitable works lawfully ensure fair treatment of
religious organizations, and is it good for our
communities?
Government should be seeking to work with organizations
already providing needed services to the community.
