Where Spirituality & Justice Meet

How do those called to serve the economically poor—people almost always pushed to the margins of society and often systematically exploited by those with influence and power—find the strength? How do they follow after the model of Christ who also experienced times of soul-wrenching distress and grief? 

How does one cooperate with the ongoing work of spiritual formation? What practices and habits help in the ongoing process of transformation? What are their ? What role can local communities of faith or Christian development NGOs play in enhancing the spiritual formation of members and staff? 

These essays were originally written as part of their Master of Transformational Development (MTD) studies at Eastern College Australia. Here, their authors share their personal experiences of how they wrestled with such questions, and testify that ones capacity to “do justice and love mercy and walk humbly with God” requires a God-nurtured resilience. I trust that you will learn as much as I did when I first read these essays, and that you will be as encouraged, challenged, and moved as I was.
