When people start talking about justice, it can get complicated right away. How can we best address long-term systems of injustice while also being responsive to immediate needs in our communities? Many Christians have questions about how to deal with this complexity.
The Centre for Public Dialogue’s latest workshop helps people explore how the Bible talks about communities of peace, justice, and faithful action. These insights can serve as a launching point for work individuals and churches might undertake in their local contexts.
“Participants will not only be grounded in a biblical vision of what it means to do justice, but also become more aware of the assets they already have to address injustice when it impacts them and their neighbors,” workshop facilitator Cindy Stover said.
Workshop participants learn how exploitative structures cause injustice, explore how advocacy can bring change, unpack the need for healing when injustice has been done, and identify practical steps to bring justice and shalom to their local contexts.
This free workshop is offered both in person and online for those who like to work at their own pace. A version of this workshop specifically designed for deacons also is available.
