"Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world."
(Letter of James 1.27)
I'm afraid we Christians -- I'm including myself -- have the "keep oneself unstained from the world" part of this verse nicely corralled and locked-up into the Easy Pen of our lives (or we think we do), but the "visit orphans and widows in affliction" part is still wild, smelly and ignored over in a dark corner somewhere...
