Moravian Justice Ministry Conference: How Can I Be A Neighbor?
Justice is the recognition that all persons are created in God’s image and are equal in God’s sight. It incorporates the respect and valuing of all persons, seeking fair and equitable opportunity for all, and addressing that which minimizes the fullness that God desires for each of us. As Martin Luther King said: “On the one hand, we are called to play the Good Samaritan on life’s road-side, but that will be only an initial act. One day we must come to see that the whole Jericho Road must be transformed so that men and women will not be constantly beaten and robbed as they make their journey on life’s highway.” (Martin Luther King Jr. “Beyond Vietnam” in Martin Luther King Jr. and the Global Freedom Struggle.
The purpose of this conference is to provide space for people to explore what it means to answer God’s call to justice in their relationships with their neighbors, grow in their understanding of some specific areas of injustice and how they intersect with each other, and strategize how we as a church might work together to learn about and respond to issues of injustice that we see in our communities and beyond.
Join us in Annandale, MN at Camp Friendship Friday, October 25th – Sunday, October 27th. The cost is $135 per person if you register before August 9th. After August 9th the cost is $150 per person. Register with Marian Boyle Rohloff at pastor@wsmoraviangb.org or 920-499-4433.
