Thought for the Week from AMUA
Sunday 16th February 2020 - Steadfastness
Thou wast their rock, their fortress and their might,
Thou Lord their Captain in the well fought fight,
Thou in the darkest drear their one true light. TiS 455; AHB 384
If Jesus is the model of steadfastness we follow, his followers have also given us examples of steadfastness. In Westminster Abbey there are modern statues of 20th century martyrs such as Boenhoeffer, Martin Luther King, Kolbe. They held themselves like rocks against the tide of prejudice, they fought for the downtrodden, they continue the Christian Way that has been kept alive through 2 millennia. It is the Way of peace and justice for all, a Way that can only be upheld by a continuing steadfast appraisal of the injustices of our times.
Therefore, my beloved, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, because you know that in the Lord your labour is not in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:58.
What were accepted practices in Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania - female genital mutilation and child marriage - are now priority areas for advocacy and policy. Members are steadfastly campaigning for a 'complete stop' to the practices, sometimes needing to move at-risk girls to safer places.
