Webinar: Just Faith Formation: Liberative Practices for Faith Communities with Justice at the Center

About this Webinar

Sometimes our worship life and the ways we seek to do justice in the world are separate, but it doesn’t have to be this way. In this webinar, panelists will discuss concrete ways for incorporating justice into our life of faith and bringing our faith into our community organizing. Come learn about liberative practices for faith communities.
