The Church’s Role in Supporting the Downtrodden

The role of the church in supporting the downtrodden is to follow the example set by Jesus Christ in caring for the marginalized and vulnerable in society. This could include providing practical help such as food, shelter, and clothing, as well as offering emotional and spiritual support. Scripture reference: James 1:27 “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.”
