Justice Ministries
Until Justice Rolls Down
“Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations points us toward something beyond inherent worth and dignity. It points us to the larger community. It gets at collective responsibility. It reminds us that treating people as human beings is not simply something we do one-on-one, but something that has systemic implications and can inform our entire cultural way of being.” – Rev. Emily Gage, Unity Temple, Chicago, IL
