Faithful Presence and the Care of the Vulnerable in Washington State
As Christians, we confess that our primary citizenship is in the Kingdom of God. Jesus Christ is Lord—not only of the Church, but of all creation. At the same time, Scripture also teaches us that God has ordered human life through distinct callings and spheres of responsibility: the Church, the family, and the civil government, each accountable to God and each with its own proper task.
Because of this, the Church must never become a political arm of the state, nor should the state attempt to run the Church. Yet neither are God’s people called to withdraw from the life of our cities. Rather, we are invited to live as a faithful presence within our communities—bearing witness to God’s concern for justice, truth, and the protection of the vulnerable, while honoring the proper role of civil authorities.
It is in this spirit that we want to share information about how you can take action right now to combat sex trafficking in Washington State.
