True Religion

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
— James 1:27 (NIV)

“When you talk about religion versus relationship, I'm going to talk about a religion that transforms relationships. My relationship with God transforms my relationship with others, so my religion is a relationship. … Not just throwing money into the situation but entering into the situation. That's the beginning of our justice.”
— Rev. Dr. Cyril Guerette, "True Religion of Orphans and Widows (James 1:27)"

His charge, that Sunday

“You don't have to fix all the problems in the world. You need to start looking around you and seeing what's in your vicinity and start showing that you're doing it.”
