			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;re focused on creating long-term change for impoverished and suffering communities of faith in restricted nations. Here&#8217;s why:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The church &#8216;is only church when it is there for others.&#8217; The church explodes the boundaries of a bourgeois institution. It is not an end in itself, not a piece of Western culture. It is no longer confined to the languages, images, and interpretive categories of the occidental tradition but instead is secular, religionless, and committed to solidarity. It exists from the &#8220;prayer and action of the righteous&#8221; and through a border-crossing ecumenical movement from below.&#8221;  &#8211; Dietrich Bonhoeffer</p></blockquote>
