JUSTICE

GOD’S PRESENCE IN THE POOR

“. . . but you have made it a den of robbers.”

LUKE 19:46

So this we believe: a kingdom of justice and righteousness has begun, and it is making its way into people’s lives and denting structures that continue to oppress and dehumanise. Such work is seldom done in the corridors of power nor in the halls of the great. Often it is in the many small acts of integrity and goodness that many faceless men and women do every day . . . It is this daily practice of hope which keeps most of us going, keeping the monsters at bay as humbly and powerfully we are caught up in the kingdom fire and the stubborn grace that shines at the heart of existence.
