Scripture

The need for social action:

14- If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and will heal their land. 15 - Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to th prayers offered in this place.

2 Chronicles 7: 14-15.

The vehicle of social action:

Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

James 2:17.
