JustMatters

- Faith & Poverty: A Global Response
  
  This class has been POSTPONED indefinitely. Please email Kristen or fill out the following form if you would like to be on the email list for future offerings of this course or other JustMatters courses.
  
  This small group program invites participants to a new understanding of the dynamics, structures, causes, and consequences of global poverty. Through engagement with Scripture, Catholic social teaching, poetry, and story, participants gain insights into the complexity of this global crisis and the insistent demands for a response rooted in the spirituality of the Scriptures. By encouraging new spiritual practices and informed action, Faith and Poverty: A Global Response aims to cultivate a groundswell of action and advocacy in solidarity with those whose lives are affected by severe poverty across the globe. This module was developed in partnership with Catholic Relief Services (CRS).
  
  This program seeks to:
  
  Provide participants with the Scriptural and Catholic social teaching framework for addressing global poverty
  
  Illuminate issues that have created barriers to addressing global poverty or have directly contributed to it
  
  Inspire solidarity-focused action that is rooted in recognition of the inherent dignity of all human persons
  
  Lay the groundwork for the development of advocacy groups or teams dedicated to the issue of global poverty
