“The prophetic liberal church is the church in which all members share the common responsibility to foresee the consequences of human behavior (both individual and institutional), with the intention of making history, in place of being merely pushed around by it.” —James Luther Adams, Taking Time Seriously
Our Fellowship’s social justice initiatives come from putting our principles into action in our local and wider community. Knowing our actions make a small difference, we partner with other organizations and programs to create bigger impact. We also find that our coalition relationships sustain us through the difficult challenges of working for the common good.
Every month, we share our collection plate with organizations in the local community that rely on donations to carry out their social justice programs.
