Recently we heard a podcast featuring a social movement begun by Dr. Robert P. George, McCormick Prof. of Jurisprudence, Princeton University. The following is a short synopsis of what he is calling Fidelity Month.
Dr George goes on to explain the steps a person, a church, or a group can take to espouse fidelity to our God, to our families and our country. I believe that this could be a movement which may change the way we look at our lives, our politics and other people.
Fidelity means: faithfulness to a person, cause, or belief, demonstrated by continuing loyalty and support and allegiance.
In a biblical context, fidelity means unwavering faithfulness and loyalty, especially towards God, one's spouse, and within the Christian community. It's about being true to promises, commitments, and duties, reflecting God's own character and the importance of covenant relationships. This faithfulness is something that I believe is important for us to focus on.
From the Fidelity Month website - "The official symbol for Fidelity Month is a wreath, particularly a myrtle wreath, representing God, His eternal nature, and family unity. The wreath is designed with specific elements: the open top symbolizes divine embrace, the branches and leaves signify family dependence on and union with God, and the star and stripe at the bottom represent America's union. The color gold in the logo symbolizes generosity and compassion, while blue (background) symbolizes truth, loyalty, responsibility, and peace."
Thanks for reading through this.
I hope it gives us all some food for thought.
Love, Diane
