Justice Conference

The Justice Conference took place in Portland, Oregon a couple of weeks ago. These were some of the quotes from the conference.  Read what they had to say. Be challenged. 

“Jesus’ natural companionship is with those folks [the poor].” – Walter Brueggemann
“Women are the greatest untapped resource in the world.” – Lynne Hybels
“Don’t be afraid to lament.” – Stephan Bauman
"It doesn’t matter who you are. Everyone has something to offer the movement of justice” –Shane Claiborne
"If we’re going to address trafficking in our country we have to address poverty, racism & gender based violence.” – Rachel Lloyd
“Justice goes across racial and economic barriers – like the good Samaritan.” – John M. Perkins
“That you would no longer see us as the mission field, but as co-equal participants in life.” – Richard Twiss
“When you’re no longer asking ‘What’s mine?’ you start asking ‘What’s true, what’s right, what’s ours?’” – Rick McKinley
