the least, the lost, and the left behind

I've always been a big fan of alliteration, probably even before I knew what the word meant.  So whenever I read a particularly good one, I like to share it.  I was on the website of The Fellowship of Presbyterians (trying to find out more of the gathering they've had these past few days) when I came across this description in their mission statement: "the least, the lost, and the left behind."  What a beautiful alliteration of "the poor, the widow and the orphan" we find in the Bible... even if it has some conservative theological allusions (ooo! another big 'a' word).  Perhaps if there's a Message Take 2 it can use this phrase...
