As Janet Durig leads visitors around her odd-shaped office building, the walls stacked high with portable cribs, she bubbles over in excitement about her job. Durig is director of the faith-based Capitol Hill Pregnancy Center, which offers free counseling, parenting and childbirth classes, pregnancy tests and material resources to those who need them. “This is the best job I’ve ever had, because I feel like it makes a difference in helping people,” the Maryland resident says. She sat down with The Washington Examiner to talk about her faith and work, her eyes filling with tears as she recounted all the divine acts of kindness she’s seen at CHPC. Do you consider yourself to be of a specific faith?
I am a Christian, and I believe in everything that Christianity stands for and that helping others is what we’re here to do. I find it very rewarding that the Capitol Hill Pregnancy Center provides the kind of help that we do.
