Judging the World Vs. Saving the World

Julia is one of the Sidewalk Sunday School workers in the Township of Khayalitsha. Her church, one of the many churches that Metro Capetown works with, has been involved with Metro Capetown for 2 1/2 years. Julia was so faithfully involved that she became the leader of that Sidewalk Sunday School site in Kayalitsha. She even went to the extent of quitting University to serve the Church; which in South Africa, education is what makes your way of life especially when you live in the townships.
Just recently Julia's life changed forever. She as many of the young women in the townships; became pregnant out of wedlock, because of this Julia was removed from all of her responsibilities in the church(which is understandable, discipline amongst leadership is very important). Julia expected that she would be asked to step down from her responsibilities in the church but she did not expect the treatment that followed. Her name was used badly in sermons, the people that once needed her and looked after her suddenly turned their backs on her, and she was told every time she came to a service that she should be ashamed and they didnt understand why she was still attending the services. Julia still chose to go to church regardless of the ridicule and the slander. She chose to prepare all of the Sidewalk Sunday School Lessons for a year so that her team would be prepared even though she was removed from her responsibilities. She chose to sit in those services even though her name was being mentioned in sermons and she was being depreciated.
But is that the purpose of THE CHURCH? Was The Church formed to Ridicule, Slander and Judge? Or was it formed to Praise, Exonerate and be Merciful?
The Bible Says:
(New American Standard Bible)
"For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
John 3:17
