God’s Call to Justice and Equity

Sunday, December 5 from 10:20-11:05 a.m. in P307

This course will explore the calls for justice and equity that should drive those who seek to be Christians. In examination of Isaiah 1:17, we will discuss how our faith should order our steps toward the ending of systems of oppression and suffering, while illuminating the painful correlation between the literal cries of today’s people. 

“Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, and please the widow's cause.” —Isaiah 1:17
