One candlelight vigil. One online forum about peace. One march for justice. These things are full of love and intention, but they are vacuous on their own. Changing the world does not happen through an individual act. Individual transformation is necessary but not sufficient for societal change. True social healing takes collective effort, where our strengths and insights multiply for meaningful change. Thanks to URI (United Religions Initiative), more than 230,000 interfaith peacemakers participate in Cooperation Circles around the globe. Many are committing themselves to interrupt hate speech and build community and safe spaces for those who are being oppressed by religiously motivated violence. If this intrigues or resonates with you, join URI as an individual member (it’s free!) and find a local Cooperation Circle, where you can connect with others who are taking action on things that matter. No one can or is meant to do this work alone. It’s essential that we don’t.

Dec 30 - “Life and Dignity of the Human Person” © artwork by Br. Mickey McGrath, OSFS. #lifeanddiginity #trinitystores Get your Saint of the Day - LIKE our FB Page - https://lnkd.in/eqQsKwX The Catholic Church proclaims that human life is sacred and that the dignity of the human person is the foundation of a moral vision for society. This belief is the foundation of all the principles of our social teaching.   Catholic teaching calls on us to work to avoid war. Nations must protect the right to life by finding increasingly effective ways to prevent conflicts and resolve them by peaceful means. We believe that every person is precious, that people are more important than things, and that the measure of every institution is whether it threatens or enhances the life and dignity of the human person.   Jesus broke with societal and religious customs to honor the dignity of the Samaritan woman. (John 4:1-42)   https://lnkd.in/dMueVPM

A sermon that's strongly recommended by SermonAudio is "Pray Until Something Happens" by Philip De Courcy. It's a profit to the soul to escalate in our intensity of SEEKING GOD! A brief Q&A video deals with the topic, "How is the Death of Christ Relevant in the 21st Century?" A clip taking only a few seconds of your time is "The Preachers of the Reformation". Also, there's a series with Alan Cairns containing over 50 short, unscripted Q&A videos (5+ hours) with topics ranging from fundamental Bible doctrine to some of today's most difficult questions! Although not all answers reflect the position of SermonAudio, they feel it's nevertheless beneficial to compile succinct answers in such a format. https://lnkd.in/gD7zSisn #FaithDebate #930WFMD #ChristianPodcast #TheologicalBroadcast #ReligiousRadioShow #LovingEnemies #Peacemaking #Pacifism #Pietism #HouseholdofFaithinChrist #CivilReligion
