Chapter One
The news cycles change rapidly enough that, if we try hard enough, we can ignore the issues until they seem to go away. But if we’re being honest with ourselves, we know that people are experiencing injustices that are built into the systems in the world around us, in the Church, and in our own lives of privilege that don’t just go away because we ignore them. In following the example of Jesus in responding as advocates for justice in our context, the question is what better place than here, what better time than now?
