Thanks for coming in, Cliff.
What do you know of/think of the church + social justice/social injustice.
What informs you?
What informs the church?
Based on what you know about history - has the church's actions throughout history been consistent with the bible?
One of the things that the church did was impose a church culture on the people.
Examples?
Judging. Church judges people. People judge the church.
What "corrects you" when you get off track?
When you don't know what to do? Put yourself into someone else's shoes. Empathy? Compassion?
Do "something". Can be paralyzed by the "big things." Aim to do something "small."
It can wind up being empowering and amazing.
One of the most powerful things that Cliff has done: take medical supplies to a different country. Helping raise $ for a hospital in Iraq. Helping with building homes in the northern Amazon.
Social justice - giving "value" to a person. Valuing humanity.
Challenge: how to not avoid someone/some situation because it makes us uncomfortable.
