Join the Justice Revival--Dallas!

On November 10-12, 2009, Dallas will experience a "Justice Revival."

In concert with Sojourners and Dallas-based Foundation for Community Empowerment, a growing group of Dallas citizens from every sector are rallying together to bring this special event to our community.

Beyond the event, we envision a continuing civic and faith movement to establish enduring relationships, strong connections and continuing, coordinated action with a goal to see justice established in our city.

What is so cool about this justice movement is the fact that it is always open to new involvement.
Everyone is welcome to join the Justice Revival Dallas team.

The next meeting will take place on July 23, 2009 from 9:30-11:30 a.m. at St. Luke Community United Methodist Church (5710 East R. L. Thornton Freeway (I-30).

I hope you'll join us! You will be welcomed for sure!

Mark your calendar: JUSTICE REVIVAL coming to Dallas!

Dallas area churches and church leaders are collaborating to bring a "JUSTICE REVIVAL" to Dallas, Texas!

Mark the dates on your calendar: November 10-12, 2009 at Market Hall.

The preacher for this 3-day meeting will be Sojourners founder, Rev. Jim Wallis.

As he outlined in his latest book, The Great Awakening: Reviving Faith & Politics in a Post-Religious Right America (order thru CDM below to the right), Wallis makes a direct connection between religious, faith revival and all of the great movements for justice and social change.

Historically it has been the case that whenever people come to faith, communities change for the better--slaves find freedom, voting rights are spread, public policy is better informed, economic justice arrives and the ways of heaven are realized on earth.

There is no real revival without accompanying societal change.

Unless what is preached is, in fact, "good news to the poor," our message and our plans are all wrong.

Plan now to join us for this revival of faith and community action!

If you are interested in being involved in the planning of the event, send your email address to me at ljames@CentralDallasMinistries.org.
