A Housing Advocate's Prayer

Trinity’s Housing For Ally Allyship’s co-leader Pam Hubbard offers the prayer below as we continue work during the pandemic to see that all our neighbors are stably housed. It honors the deep need for the integration of both action and contemplation in the lives of Christ-followers. Richard Rohr says “If we pray but don’t act justly, our faith won’t bear fruit. And without contemplation, activists burn out and even well-intended actions can cause more harm than good. In today’s religious, environmental, and political climate our compassionate engagement is urgent and vital.”
