Social Justice: Realizing God's Vision

For next Sunday, August 30, we will return to the Living the Question series to focus on the chapter that explicitly addresses how we are called to work for social justice. From the reading text:

Being a person of faith demands balancing spiritual pursuits with action. In a society which is oftenunjust, inequitable, and whose very structures are responsible for generating untold suffering and poverty, we are compelled to pursue social justice as an expression of hope in realizing a better world.

For many, the thought of seeking social justice is an intimidating proposition. Yet God’s vision for the world can only be realized as each one of us sets ourselves
to practicing even the smallest task toward the goal.

“The prophetic life is one in which you live your faithfulness out of a steadiness, and that is often hard for us to do. We do really good with these rushes of faithfulness (but) the mortal life is the life of the mundane. It is doing the right thing day after day after day and moment after moment. It is not these big movements. It is not these big statements of great profound eloquence. It really is doing it every day. I cannot say it often enough: treating people fairly, decently – respecting them for who they are – knowing that none of us is perfect.”
