With Summit Days Away, New Christianity Today Article on Orphans and Adoption

By Jedd Medefind on April 26, 2010

Summit VI is just days away, and energy and enthusiasm for the conference is running in high gear.  Meanwhile, the featured article today from Christianity Today’s highlights orphan care and adoption vis-a-vis recent events in Haiti.

The article tags Summit as a key part of the Christian orphan movement, carrying a great quote from Dr. Russell Moore on the commitment of believers to adoption and orphan care:

“There’s more momentum than I’ve ever seen,” Moore said. “We are at the beginning stages of a wave of momentum not just toward adoption but orphan care of various kinds. The church is beginning to have its conscience awakened when it comes to the orphan crisis.”
