Striving for Justice at Saint James…

 

What does the Lord require of you… 

… do justice, love kindness and walk humbly with God. –– Micah 6:8

 

Justice is people living in right relationship with God, one another, and creation.

Justice is loving our neighbor as we love ourselves.

Justice is the character and nature of God.

 

In our baptism, we promise to “strive for justice and peace in all the earth,”  ELW 236.

 

This difficult and never-ending work, calls on us to:

• Live… in right relationship with God, our neighbors and creation.

• Listen… with compassion to the voices of the marginalized and hurting.

• Seek… justice, peace, and wholeness for everyone everywhere.

 

All are welcome at Saint James and invited to take up this important work.
