QUIET ACTS OF LOVE
“Last fall near the Yugoslav-Hungarian border, I met a remarkable man. The tag on his car read “MORTICIAN,” but he was a Reformed pastor. In multiple trips from Croatia, he had carried 410 of his parishioners, disguised as corpses, to safety in Hungary….I share this story with you because, while bombs and terror make front page news, quiet acts of love and sacrifice are rarely told. The public media does not often show the church at work, witnessing to the love of Christ while feeding the hungry, bandaging the wounded and sheltering the homeless. Yet in the midst of war, suffering and oppression, these individual acts of compassion are filling the world with love.” Excerpt from a letter written by Colleen Shannon, Director of Human Development Group of the PCUSA
