| Wm. Chris Hobgood,
our General Minister
and President answers it beautifully:
"When the
world is ripped apart by war, there you will
find a Disciple of Christ, carrying a banner
for peace and giving comfort and prayer. When
your continent is devastated by disease, there
you will find a Disciple of Christ with medicine,
giving comfort and prayer. When your nation
is hungry, there you will find a Disciple of
Christ with a hot meal, giving comfort and prayer.
When your town is ravaged by flood, there your
will find a Disciple of Christ with a blanket,
giving comfort and prayer. When your streets
are filled with drugs and crime, there you will
find a Disciple of Christ rendering aid to the
helpless, giving comfort and prayer. When a
child cries, there you will find a Disciple
of Christ wiping away the tear, giving comfort
and prayer. I guess we can be
best summed up as a Denomination that believes
strongly in giving comfort and prayer.
So, if you are looking
for a church that believes in giving comfort
through Jesus Christ, and relies on the power
of prayer to heal this world, then you have
found us."
May God continue to
bless all we Disciples of Christ!
Rev. Cindy
