Uniting the Church
Through quarterly worship gatherings, community organizing, and ongoing outreach efforts NY Faith & Justice brings disparate arms of the church together to receive common teaching that leads to common action, but nothing brings us together like…
Liberal and Conservative
Black, White, Latino, Asian, First Nations
Republican and Democrat
Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island
High Liturgy and Deep Imagination
Rich, poor, and middle of the middle
Come.
Stand together
On one Bridge
Learn about the issues facing our city
Hear the Stories
Feel the Holy Spirit press through
Be surprised
by God
Experience God through quarterly worship gatherings that touch the soul and offer practical ways to do justice. Past speakers have included Jim Wallis, Willie Baptist, Lisa Sharon Harper, Annie Rawlings, Raymond Rivera, Shane Claiborne, Alexie Torres-Flemming, Anna Vincenty, Derrick Boykin, Fletcher Harper, Brian McLaren, Fra. Earl Kooperkamp, and Douglass Puffert, among many others.
Willie Baptist, formerly homeless director of The Poverty Initiative and the University of The Poor, recently wrapped up our 2008-2009 Bridge series with a powerful word: “Poverty, Power, and The Image of God.”
Stay tuned for more great speakers and more deep worship “on The Bridge” in Fall 2009 (dates TBA).
