What’s it about?
The Apostle Paul tells us, "Don't become so well-adjusted
to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your
attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what
he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you,
always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of
you, develops well-formed maturity in you." We are called to transform our
culture, not be transformed by it. Learn how we might change our world
through the prophetic voices of the Body of Christ!
-
An
excellent small group curriculum for addressing such NC issues as: How can we
address poverty? Housing needs of our community? Livable wages? Restorative
justice? Issues of race? Education? Health Care?
-
Why are these
issues important to God? Why should they be part of our faith journey? How
does a call to justice help us grow closer to God?
-
How can we learn
to talk to one another about difficult issues?
-
Our scriptural
mandate to help build societies that reflect God’s justice for all.
-
Why is charity
not enough?
-
What next? How
to continue the journey to justice with your own congregation and how this
active ministry is revitalizing many churches!
