Ecumenical Lenten Program 2010 - Love in the Shadow
This year has had its share of floods and tsunamis, internally displaced persons seeking new homelands, famine and starvation, pandemic, as well as violence and political oppression.
Somewhere in the midst of the shadows of horror and desperation have been people of courage and generosity, prayer and action, perseverance and hope: mirroring the love of Jesus Christ.
"Love in the Shadow" was written by an ecumenical group comprised of representatives from Catholic, Anglican, Uniting and Baptist Churches.
