  • What is our meeting doing:
    • To become aware of systemic legal, economic and political injustices in our local community?
    • To build relationships with other faith communities around common concerns?
    • To reduce polarization within the larger community?
    • To work together with others to address injustice?
  • How does our meeting assist in restoring public recognition that government fulfills legitimate functions?
  • Am I mindful of how my lifestyle, work-life and investments affect others?
