Social Justice Curriculums with a faith driven perspective

  • JustFaith  JustFaith (Ecumenical) is a thirty-week justice education/formation process with a focus on the intersection of faith, spirituality and social responsibility in a world wounded by poverty.  Meeting weekly, the process employs books, videos, lecture, discussion, prayer, retreats and hands-on experiences all set in the context of a small faith community.

  • Just Neighbors The Just Neighbors multimedia curriculum was created to raise awareness of the root causes of poverty and homelessness as the first step in establishing community-based responses.  The Just Neighbors program includes nine interactive multi-media sessions. It is designed as a series but has a flexible structure that you can adapt to meet your congregation’s needs and interests.

  • RESULTS  “Turning the Ship” Faith-Based Curriculum   RESULTS “Turning the Ship” faith-based curriculum is a multi-week study focused on social justice, advocacy and religion. RESULTS core values serve as a template for the study providing an excellent resource for congregations looking to get more involved in advocacy around hunger and poverty. This study can also serve as a great tool for outreach to faith communities about RESULTS and our work.
