Toward Deeper Justice for All: The Urban Social Justice Report
By Jeremy | July 17, 2007
The Justice For All project I reported on in May gets prominent discussion in Fuller Seminary's Center For Youth and Family Ministries' July E-Journal. Kara Powell, who helped craft the research for the project, describes its goal as, "eliminat[ing] the murkiness swirling around what social justice is, what it isn’t, and how to bring the most dignity and transformation for all," and reports its findings here. Here's a flavor:
"Often surprising to social justice novices is the widely held distinction between service and justice work. Service is offering a thirsty person a cup of cold water. Justice is not only offering a cup of cold water, but asking why they’re thirsty to begin with, and partnering with them to make sure not only that they are never thirsty again but that they can get their own water."
