The Lord gave us sabbath and sabbatical as gifts. A sabbatical well planned, funded, supported, experienced, and reported on can refresh and renew a person’s soul, family, and ministry. Join Rev. Dr. Jason Leininger who will share resources, perspectives, and planning tools to plan, experience, and re-enter a sabbatical well and whole.
Redistribution means creating equal access to resources, power, and opportunity for all humanity. When God’s people commit to living in marginalized and low-status communities, seek to be good neighbors, exemplify what it means to be a follower of Christ, work for justice for the entire community and utilize resources to address the problems of the community alongside their neighbors, then redistribution is being practiced. A lifestyle of redistribution confronts the unjust distribution of our economic, social, educational, and relational resources. It breaks down our systems of poverty & oppression and decreases the economic disparity in our communities. As a result, our communities are able to flourish with the resources they need to do so. Join Marie Moy to learn more about Redistribution.
