One Great Hour of Sharing - A Call to Do Justice, Love Kindness and Walk Humbly

A Call to Do Justice, Love Kindness and Walk Humbly The prophet Micah issues a call “to do justice, love kindness and walk humbly with your God.” One Great Hour of Sharing does just that, working for justice around the world with partners who know the needs of their own communities.

One way churches are answering the call is through grassroots organizing, a faith-rooted approach to addressing systemic injustices within local contexts. The PC(USA) has created a new eight-page guide, titled “Congregation-Based Community Organizing (CBCO): A Call to Do Justice, Love Mercy and Walk Humbly.” The guide notes that CBCO is grounded in the belief that, through deep relationships and faithful witness, faith communities are uniquely equipped to walk alongside frontline communities in the shared pursuit of justice and the common good.

“It’s about building people power and building community power, and the church can be a part of that, even though it's a small congregation,” The Rev. Phil Tom of the West Kensington Ministry in Philadelphia said. This kind of organizing can make “a powerful difference in their neighborhood and the city.”
