Living into Micah 6:8
Act for peace, social justice, and equality by advocating for the marginalized, being a prophetic voice for racial justice while being aware of our own biases, and seeking and participating in wider, interfaith justice networks.
This vision builds on Western’s strong history of support for many social justice issues. God has told us what is good. The challenge comes in living it out:
Doing Justice: How do we intentionally engage the systems and institutions of our community to bring justice for the marginalized through a prophetic voice?
Love Kindness: How do we intentionally engage in kindness, love, and peace in the ordinary moments of our everyday lives with family, friends, coworkers, neighbors, strangers, and ourselves?
Walk Humbly: How do we intentionally engage God through spiritual practices, formation, and discipleship?
He has told you, O mortal, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you but
to do justice, and to love kindness, and
to walk humbly with your God?
Micah 6:8 NRSV
