Prophetic Spirituality
Leadership Development Workshops
The two great hungers of our time are the hunger for spirituality and
the hunger for social justice – and the connection between the two
has great power to motivate people to action.
– Jim Wallis
Workshop 1:
Integrating Spirituality and Justice
This initial workshop for congregational leaders introduces the importance of integrating personal spirituality with the prophetic call to do justice, seeing both as essential components of faith formation. We explored the concept of shalom, justice as part of the nature and character of God, the distinction between primary justice and reactive justice, and began a conversation about privilege. The video to the right is an overview of the session with the PowerPoint presentation. This workshop took place on Sunday afternoon, October 13.
