Team Justice: Put me in the game, Coach!

The mission of "Poetry and Pericope: Put Me in the Game Coach!" is to inspire, inform and encourage the people of faith to "put their head" in the game of justice. Justice is a team sport and no one person has or will be able to do the work of justice alone. Yes, there are times when it will take one person to make a difference. Sometimes something as small as a phone call or a letter can make a huge difference. Sometimes, just being present represents your interests and involvement. Certainly, donations help to further the cause.

Yet, imagine how we could change the world with more intentionality, awareness, and committed to the work of justice. For some, the journey towards justice may begin with an injustice. For others, just being able to define what justice is can get one on the team. Here you can find ice breakers, definitions, quotes, commandments, organizations, discussion questions, periocope (Scripture) and rhythmic poetry that can be enjoyed among generations.

This book is here to say that justice work is teamwork-- God's work, so whether you are old or young, black or white, male or female, clergy or lay with or without a formal education, and regardless of sexual orientation or religious association, there is a spot for you on "Team Justice."
