Justice and Inclusion
“I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own.” Audre Lorde
“We change the world when we simply
meet the needs of another.” Kristen Welch
“Diversity is having a seat at the table, inclusion is having a voice, and belonging is having that voice be heard.”

“Social justice is love applied to systems, policies and cultures.” Bernice King
“There are simply no gospel grounds for defending White supremacy. None. This isn’t theological rocket science. The Savior of the world gave Himself on the cross for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, wearing a brown body.” Beth Moore
“When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint.
When I ask why they are poor, they call me a communist.” Heldar Camarara
“What Jesus never said: ‘Feed the hungry only if they have papers.’ ‘Clothe the naked only if they’re from your country.’ ‘Welcome the stranger only if there’s zero risk.’ ‘Help the poor only if it’s convenient.’ Love your neighbor only if the look like you.’” James Martin, S.J.
“We need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to upstream and find out why they’re falling in.” Desmond Tutu
“Our vision is for a world where God’s people
transform suffering into hope.” Rev. Vy T. Nguyen
“Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands in the way of love.” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
“What I want is the impossible. I want as much diversity in things, in people, in places, in ideas possible. But I want unity among things and people and places and ideas. I want that unity without anything losing its uniqueness.” Emil Antonucci
“Just because it isn’t our fault doesn’t mean
it's not our responsibility.” Rich Stearns
"Strip the altar of the Blessed Virgin Mary and cart off its varied furnishings if you cannot otherwise satisfy one who is in need. Believe me, it is dearer to Mary that the gospel of her Son be kept, though it means stripping her altar, than to see her altar ornamented and her Son neglected." St. Francis of Assissi, Celano, Second Life
