SOCIAL JUSTICE
Sometimes
it gets pretty tough in this world. Everywhere we look there is
something to remind us that things just aren't.... right. There
are inequities and injustices happening everyday. Often we don't
fully understand or pay attention to the issue but deep down inside -
if we are honest with ourselves - we sense that something is not
proper. Then, as we explore that feeling... we read more... we
study... we pray, it becomes very clear to us the source of those
inequities. Eventually it stirs inside us. Things are
spiraling out of control. Everyone is pointing fingers, no one
is taking the responsibility, little or nothing is getting done and
people are still
needlessly suffering.
What can
WE do?
GET ACTIVE!!!
There are issues, there are
causes there are opportunities for us to exercise our God Given
rights. WE are the people! Our government is supposed to
work for US! However, we must inform them of our wishes.
Know our legislators but more importantly, make sure that they know
us! Let your voice be heard. All it takes is a phone call,
an email, a letter. Attend a public meeting and find out what is
going on. Talk to your neighbors.
This page
will provide you links to some of the issues and organizations we
support and participate with. We welcome you to explore and
journey with us as we answer Christ's call to discipleship. We
show our love for God by showing our love for our fellow beings and as
good stewards of the gifts that God has given us, we seek that they be
shared equally and justly throughout this planet. |
