What begins as a reflection on the role of churches in public health quickly deepens into a powerful conversation about moral imagination, structural injustice, and the difference between acting out of anger versus love.

Call and CharacterOn Community Organizing: Alexia SalvatierraIn many churches and faith communities, “faith” as a theological concept is a private matter—n practical attitude of belief or trust in God that stands independent of the pursuit of justice in society. In fact, the very idea of social justice is sometimes viewed with suspicion. Conservative churches worry that calls to social action are replacements for theological reflection or serious personal faith commitments. And progressive churches worry that those who are suspicious of “social justice” are simply content with the unjust status quo, and unwilling to put their faith into action.
