"Pursuing holiness without doing justice is like trying to play baseball without a bat.”
This workshop explored the primary meaning and relationship of both justice and holiness in the Bible. We surveyed biblical passges to show: (1) that the essence of God’s character is holiness and that God’s commitment to restorative justice is part and parcel of what it means to be God; and (2) that God calls God’s people to reflect his holy character and individuals and communities can only do that by practicing restorative justice.

Stories of Black & BiRacial Women: A Necessary Celebration
Saturday, September 14 | 4 - 6:30pm
The Story Table, sponsored by the Clay Countians for Inclusion, gives a voice to those who have been marginalized and oppressed. It provides a platform for people to shape the narrative of their own history. This is especially important in a world where voices and stories of people of color have historically been excluded and unheard. Black and Biracial women will be bearing witness through personal testimony of the barriers they have broken through and how they conquered hidden agendas that were designed to keep them from thriving. “If I didn’t define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people’s fantasies for me and eaten alive.” Audre Lorde, professor, author and poet.
